We first told you about Google’s Chrome OS this summer and I have to say, I’m pretty excited for tomorrow. Google releasing an operating system is worthy of getting excited about, of course, but the mystification comes from not really know anything about what it will do or what features it will have. About the only information available right now is that the Google Chrome OS will be a cloud-based operating system, which will probably make it an excellent fit for light-weight machines like netbooks and nettops. Otherwise? We don’t know jack.
Looks like that will all change tomorrow. A press event will be hosted at Google’s Mountain View Campus on Thursday morning, billed as an “update on progress with Google Chrome OS.”
According to the invitation, Google’s vice president of Product Management, Sundar Pichai, will be speaking, along with Google’s engineering director for Chrome OS, Matthew Papakipos. Demos of the operating system will be shown and Google will give an overview of their launch plans for 2010. There’s even a possibility that we’ll see one of those famous early Google betas we all love so well.
Whether Google Chrome OS is going to be a major push or just a side engineering project remains to be seen, but we’ll all be waiting with anticipation to see what Google’s little operating system can actually do. My guess is we’ll be impressed.
