But before that the race between different netbook companies to win the market has already commenced.  A couple of days back Dell came out with a compatible version for mini netbooks. Though Dell is not included in the official partner list by Google, it still managed to get all the attention by introducing this compatible version.

Second in the row is Acer, which says it will be the first one to manufacture a netbook to support Google Chrome OS.  In fact Acer has already begun the manufacturing work (started sometime in mid 2009).If Acer will live up to its claim or not cannot be said now. Last time we all saw that Acer failed in making netbooks those were to support Android (users could not install anything on these Android netbooks. Only the battery lasted longer with Android running on the netbook). This time it may actually be the first one to launch netbooks for Chrome OS. But like I said earlier, nothing can be said with surety.

For those who still do not know much about the Chrome OS news, Google Chrome Operating system will play both like a web-browser and an operating system. With that one will not have to install different tools, softwares etc. Everything will be present on cloud; and one can just take it from there, use it and give it back to the cloud. Simple. Once out, the Chrome OS will make internet a lot different from what it is now. So now you know why the race is getting tougher.

All we can hope for is that users get a good, convenient to use netbook for Google Chrome Operating System. Until then let’s wait and watch who else joins this race. There are already two…

The fact that everything is going to be on cloud and that users would not require to install anything (any tools, softwares etc.) makes Google Chrome a great thing. A software that will work both as your operating system and the web browser is a sure thing to have in your computer. Also, really] fast. Just about 7 sceonds.  Well, that’s definitely too fast!

I did know about all this (the news of Google Chrome OS is everywhere), but was quite surprised to know that Dell has already made available a compatible version for mini 10v netbook users. I came across the information on this tech blog – onlygizmos.com. I personally am excited to use the actual Google Chrome OS, but until then Dell version would be a good thing to try out.

Anybody can download this 10v compatible version from the link given on the post – Dell Honours Geeks, Gives Chrome OS to Play With. You will also find a link to the instruction set on how to download and use the version. It’s a simple work. You can load the file in a USB and then get on using it.

Dell users are sure having a great time getting to use the Google Chrome OS, a 10v version though. Until the actual Google Chrome OS comes out in the market for public usage (and that’s not until 2010), all internet fanatics may use this compatible version by Dell.

But a word of caution: The application has certain issues, so users please be very careful while downloading and using it. WiFi connectivity can cause a lot of problems. Nevertheless, it is worth trying out Dell’s work.

In other cases may be just for listening to songs or watching a movie or use MS office, and nothing much beyond that. Also, though Internet is the most important part, we are always worried about our Operating System (OS) – what if some important data is lost,  It takes good amount of time to show up the desktop, blah..blah….there are hundreds of hassles our OS causes. Well, here comes the interesting part – Google is going to launch its Google Chrome Operating System in 2010, that will solve all such problems.

You did hear of Google Chrome as a browser, but what is Google Chrome OS? In simplest of terms, Google Chrome OS will function as two things – browser and Operating System. That means when you switch on your computer, you will not have to wait for you Operating System to load programmes and then reach the desktop page where you can click on the browser icon to get connected to the net. Sounds different? It sure does.

The best part about Google Chrome OS would be that since everything is going to be stored on the cloud, you will be relieved the worry of loosing any important files.  So that was a quick look in the new Google Chrome OS, which is scheduled to be launched officially sometime in the coming year, 2010.

You may want to watch this video on what is Google Chrome OS and how is it could all about computer.  Google always comes out with useful and easy-to-use applications. With its Operating System (OS) out in the market for public usage, Google Chrome sure will make usage of computers a lot more different than the way we use them now.
