Chromium OS - Itz Different
For all internet freaks out there, here’s an OS made for us by google
Google has already released plenty of information on their upcoming Chrome-based operating system but none of it actually explains definite features and functions. Nor has there been any talk as to what it will look like – openly.For those of you who aren’t aware of the upcoming Google Chrome OS, here’s a quick debriefing. Google has identified that users spend most of their time on a computer in a browser window (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari). They believe that most of the excess programs and applications are used, much less often – enough so, that they don’t need to exist in an OS. They also believe that most average operating systems take an extended period of time to boot initially (no detesting that fact). Over time operating systems deteriorate in performance as more and more software is installed. Armed with all these aforementioned observations, Google has decided it would be beneficial to create an operating system that acts just as an internet browser. What that means is that every action performed on their upcoming OS will do so via the internet. The Google OS is titled the Chromium OS because it will obviously borrow from the design and function of Google’s Chrome internet browser.
In a quick introductory video the Google development team also revealed that most files including music, text, video and such will be stored server side. Meaning computers utilizing the Google OS will no longer need extending storage support. Hard drives will likely become a feature of the past for Google OS users as music, photos videos and content is stored via internet accessible servers. Is this necessarily the best idea to be drawn up- no, I would think not considering all the safety problems that could potentially arise, however the idea is certainly not to be taken lightly.
A speedy and reliable OS is certainly something that would remain on everyone’s radar. It would definitely function well for netbooks and portable devices which do suffer from performance loss due to traditional OS requirements.
