Google Chrome OS for Netbooks

Google is announcing on their blog about their new project- Google Chrome Operating System. It’s been 9 months since they introduced the Google Chrome browser with the interest of the users in mind. They (Google) think that users need better and faster operating system which is not available yet. Thus, Google Chrome is coming by 2010.
The operating system will run on x86 and ARM platforms. It will use the Linux Kernel and will put the Chrome new windowing system on top.
This is a separate project from Google Android. Android is targeted for a range of devices such as mobile and handhelds, while Google Chrome OS is being designed for the People. So whether you use netbooks or laptops or desktops, as long as you love the web, it’s for you.
I know it’s still under development and somehow excited to get a Live USB already. The project sounds promising and somewhere out there, I want to try this new OS. I’m imagining it’s gonna be something like some instant-on OS available around, but has a capability of adding new applications you need other than the built-in ones. It will also give you full access to your netbook like your ordinary primary OS.

I was thinking that one day, Google would launch an Operating system that would complete with Windows XP or Vista. Google and Microsoft would compete head to head now that Microsft launched its Bing search engine.
