Google Chrome OS Coming Out This Month?

2
October 3rd, 2009

This is how the rumor spread: Lemote, a Chinese netbook manufacturer, plans on releasing a Loongson CPU-based netbook next month that will be running on Chrome OS in late October or the start of November.

When Google announced their new open source OS in July, they stated that the OS will be coming out in 2010, but judging by Lemote’s plans, it may be a possibility.

People have been stating that if Google Chrome OS will be coming out exclusively for Lemote (maybe just a beta or something like that), this would be a great move: first of all, the operating system that Lemote netbooks and notebooks have pre-installed are quite ugly (making the transition to Google Chrome OS a positive move as far as consumers are concerned) and second, chopping all the Microsoft 7 hype (that we will surely witness soon) is another great move for Google.

As a side note, Microsoft continued their Google bashing yesterday when they mocked Google’s decision to abandon Android and now come up with Chrome OS. This was not fair entirely, especially since Android has not been abandoned, and maybe Google is capable of dealing with both of them. Google did not make any comments on the topic.

  • Microsoft is just mad because they are going to lose a lot of business to Google. I am going to be one of those people that dump windows and install Chrome OS. Besides, Android is a Mobile Phone OS, Chrome is a Desktop and Netbook OS. Microsoft can’t say a whole lot considering they are going to soon have 3 different ones running at the same time. Windows Mobile 6.5, Windows 7, and Windows 7 Cloud. I can’t wait to see the OS release. They mentioned something about the source being released this year, so maybe they will have an ISO we can download and run. I really hope so!

  • Google is NOT a company I am fond of… I mean they are a VERY big company now and really… TOO BIG for their own good!
    Google has become known as a ’spy-happy’ company by the intelligent, computer literate and know that Google is one company to stay AWAY from, Free or Not!

    They have hired individuals who make their living as a spy in governmental agencies and the likes to help them in their efforts of spying on us.

    In fact, that is what their Google toolbar is all about! It digs in to your info on your computer and tracks just about everything you do online. Google also NEVER DELETES ANYTHING anymore and keeps all data they ever collect on you or anyone.

    CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT KIND OF POWER GOOGLE WILL HAVE WHEN MANY FOLKS DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL THEIR Operating System????!!!

    WOW!!!

    People… come on… DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH!!! As my father always told me as a kid, THINK before your act!!!

    Now-a-days, I think, research and then act accordingly.
    If you need to respond to something immediately, go with your gut feeling, but make sure you are reading it correctly by practising using it on all your decisions.

    Google CHURNS MY guts!!!

    Good Luck in whatever you choose to do!!
