Google Chrome OS is an open source, lightweight operating system designed by Google to work exclusively with web applications. It is based on Google's Chrome web browser and the Linux kernel. Speed, simplicity, and security are priorities, with the goal of allowing users to access the web within a few seconds. Google Chrome OS will run on ARM and x86 chips and provide security updates to protect against viruses and malware. It is aimed initially at netbooks and will have a fast access bar for browsing the web and using web applications like email, social media, and online radio.
