Most of the time, when you turn on your computer, the only thing you do is to go to the Internet, Facebook, Youtube, Messenger, Gmail/Hotmail just to name a few. So why bother loading the entire operating system and all other unnecessary components just to perform such a simple task? Why wait 5 mins before the PC is useable?
This is where Google Chrome OS comes in, Google Chrome OS (different from Google Chrome browser), still in the development stage plans to provide you a PC, which you can use to surf the web within 7 seconds from the time the power button is pushed. Google Chrome OS achieves this by loading only the necessary bare minimum resources.
Watch the preview here

Seems promising, but seems like Microsoft has slammed Google Chrome OS even before the beta version is made available. Apart from that, it could be that it's just a matter of time before Google converge Google Chrome OS with it's smartphone counterpart, Android into one new product, Android Chrome perhaps?
Looks like Google is one step closer towards the completion of Internet domination.
Looking forward to install this in parallel to Windows 7 installation, since most of the time I'm on the Internet anyway. The beta is already available and instructions to install it via thumbdrive is available here.
