Google just had an official event at their HQ in Mountain View and announced their latest project, the Google’s Chrome OS (Operating System). Rumors were going around before that, some believes and some don’t and finally the thing is real. They go opensource which means things can be easily tweaked, hacked, coded by coders.

Google targeted it to be used on netbook because of it’s simplicity and ease of use and since it’s open source, it’s free and most of the installed apps are web apps.

Looking at the UI, it’s just like the Google Chrome web browser and yes, you can say that the whole browser is your OS.

Since it’s just announced, hard to conclude that it’s the best OS for the netbook and Internet use. I believe it won’t be replacing your desktop OS any soon or never. There’s like Linux, Fedora, Windows 7 and some even hack and installed Mac on the netbook. Well, I believe most people will go for a Windows pre-installed netbook. But being a geek, I would want to try it.

In a simple words, Chrome OS is OS in a Google Chrome Web Browser with applications and functionality.

I am using Windows 7 on my Acer AspireOne and is loving it. If it wasn’t the hardware problem, I would have already install a Hackintosh on it.

What OS do you run on your netbook?
