Google has finally entered in the arena of operating systems. It plans to take Microsoft head on by announcing its plans to create a new computer operating system aimed at laptop users.There has been an increasing talk browsers having more powers locally as well as on the internet. Recently Microsoft has even realized that internet explorer needs to improve a lot and head towards incorporating more OS like features.

The Google OS which is sheduled to be released by the second half of 2010, would be a Chrome based OS on a Linux kernel.The Chrome browser now after 9 months of release has 30 million active users, says Google, and tracking services say it has 6% or so market share.

Speed, simplicity and security are the key aspects of Google Chrome OS. We’re designing the OS to be fast and lightweight, to start up and get you onto the web in a few seconds. The user interface is minimal to stay out of your way, and most of the user experience takes place on the web. And as we did for the Google Chrome browser, we are going back to the basics and completely redesigning the underlying security architecture of the OS so that users don’t have to deal with viruses, malware and security updates. as stated by the Official Google Blog.

Google OS would concentrate on features as speed and web access . Most importantly the OS which would be more adapted to internet browsing and I am sure would have inbuilt support for all Google Apps,Google Wave, Google Voice and other Google gadgets.

The Best thing about this OS would be that it would be a faster,open source and more secure OS which would be absolutely free of cost. Security means you do not have to spend your money on antiviruses or other spyware items.

Windows XP which is rated to be the best OS was designed for Pentium3 or pentium 4 chips and Vista is not so popular among the users. About Microsoft 7 Bloggers and newspapers claim it is a replica of Ubuntu and definately would not be better than the Google OS.

The best thing I like that since you do  not need to spend on OS and antiviruses, overall cost of Computers would become cheaper and we can buy better configuration PC’s at the same cost.
