Netbook with Google Chrome OS set for December 7th unveiling

article published on 5 December, 2010

Google has sent out invites for a December 7th event relating to the Chrome OS, likely unveiling the first netbook to run on the operating system. Chrome OS was revealed last year to much fanfare, but so far there has been little actually unveiled about the OS.

I'm looking forward to it; however, I could care less about the "boot time". I boot my MBP every third Blue Moon. The rest of the time it just goes into sleep mode. Waking from sleep mode takes less time than it takes to lift the top of the laptop open. The real value of Google Chrome OS is that it isn't OSX and it isn't Windows. More compelling market alternatives create more innovation so long a splintering in basic concepts of development doesn't occur. That isn't likely to happen because, unlike Apple or Microsoft, Google tends to lean towards open standards rather than trying to Fork them for their own interests. (J++ or ObjectiveC anyone?)

From what I understand, the Chrome OS is based on Chrome browser. Everything you do is effectually online. Loading apps is online. Writing documents is online. Preparing Powerpoints is online. Cloud-based computing taken to the limit. The rapid loading time is the time to load the basic browser OS and establish an internet connection, after that it will be a different story.
