“Because it’s open source, we do not plan to charge for it, in an open source form. There may be other ways we can make money from it. The core operating system, if you look at the blog post, we said it was an open source project and it should be available for anyone else to use. We do this with a lot of products. For example our Android product… There are many other pieces of technology that Google builds [that we don't charge for].

The rough argument is we do things that are strategic because they get people to ultimately use the Internet in a clever and new way. We know that if they use the Internet more, they search more, watch more on YouTube, and we then know that our advertising [will reach them]. We do not require each and every project to be completely profitable or not profitable — we look at them in a strategic context: are they making the Web a better place?”

By making the web a better place, by getting more and more people online — especially on broadband connections — we have lot of data that says this results in very, very strong revenue growth from us because of targeted ads that we offer.“[Google CEO Eric Schmidt]

This definitely sounds to be a strategy as if Google is able to make a stronger hold in the OS market the internet usage might be increased and since internet is where Google believe its domain is, they would bring people to their domain.

While I strongly believe that Google Chrome OS would be a marked step in changing the architecture of the Internet [ as they stated for Google Wave] but this time not only software Google’s tie up with hardware manufacturer’s would enable Google to implement a replacement for the 20 year old internet architecture.And since that architecture would differ from traditional one it would be tougher for viruses and other malwares to break in the OS.

At the end we can say that users would be provided with a faster ,speedier and secure internet on Google Chrome OS which would then be a suitable platform for cloud computing.

We have seen a lot of Android based phones in the past weeks and every version has its own unique and amazing feature associated with it, whether it is amazing user interface(Sense UI),augmented reality browser or flash enabled internet browsers.The latest in this list is the Rachel UI.

Rachel UI is the latest Google Android version evolved.Sony Ericson’s latest release Rachel would be incorporating this user interface and once you watch the video below you will get to know the elegance of this UI. The most amazing feature is the unified messaging interface that displays Facebook, Twitter, email, SMS, and calls all from one screen.

Google Android which is an open source would always enjoy an upper hand in operating system development for the Mobile phones.But only time can tell whether it would be enough to beat the Apple iPhone OS!

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.
