Chrome OS is on schedule, says Eric Schmidt at Abu Dhabi Media Summit
Development of Google’s Chrome operating system is on schedule and that it would be the big topic in the news during the second half of this year.
Yesterday at the Abu Dhabi Media Summit on Yas Island Google CEO Eric Schmidt said that the development of Google’s Chrome operating system is on schedule and that it would be the big topic in the news during the second half of this year.
Chrome is of course a web browser from Google but almost a year ago they introduced plans to develop an operating system with the same name.
The Chrome OS is expected to be lightweight and run only a web browser. It’s target market would be netbooks and other similarly underpowered devices on which users mostly browse the web, chat on instant messaging and other Internet-related tasks. The idea is that those sorts of computers don’t need a fully-featured operating system and users would do better with a more streamlined operating system.
Although Windows 7 has been adopted at a fast rate on netbooks since it’s release in October 2009, many manufacturers still sell netbooks with Windows XP.
Schmidt said in Abu Dhabi that Crome OS is on track for a release during the second half of this year. Clearly, Chrome OS is something that he is very excited about and since it’s being developed by Internet-giant Google we can be sure it’s going to have a significant impact once released.

[...] The last time we heard anything about the launch schedule for Google's Chrome OS it was summer of last year. At that time we were told a rather vague “second half of 2010″ and, now that we're entering the second quarter of the year, forgive us if we were starting to get a bit doubtful about that timeline. But, Google's Eric Schmidt is here to assuage our fears, speaking at the Abu Dhabi Media Summit and indicating the little OS is still on track for that same, rather vague release window. That we're still not getting a more specific date makes us think we're probably looking at a release toward the end of the second half of this year, but just the same it seems like you shouldn't wipe that Chrome-powered netbook off your wishlist for this upcoming holiday season just yet.Eric Schmidt confirms Chrome OS is on schedule, on target originally appeared on Engadget on Fri, 12 Mar 2010 09:23:00 EST.
