The Role of Google Chrome OS in the Netbook Market

Google’s investment in Internet software began with a search engine and email, and has now expanded to include the Google Apps suite and the Chrome web browser. Now, Google has announced plans to introduce a web-centric operating system—Chrome OS—during the second half of 2010. Based on a Linux kernel, Chrome OS is intended to compete with the upcoming Windows 7 OS from Microsoft and is initially targeted at netbooks. Similar to Google’s strategy with the Android mobile operating system, Google Chrome OS will be moved into the open source community, estimated to be later this year.
