Google recently made the biggest announcement that it has made in a while, they are going to release an Operating System in 2010. This might just be the greatest competition that Microsoft will ever have in terms of regular users. It seems like Google Chrome the browser was just a small part of what is going to be Google OS. Google on their blog said that it will an Open Source OS which will be made to take full capacity of the x86 architecture. That is one of the main reasons they just didn’t use their Android OS.

Chrome is going to be targeted for Netbooks so they can run light and faster Operating Systems. This could take a good market share and later expand to bigger and more robust Desktops. We all are expecting Google Chrome to have a simple and light way of working. Google already has a bunch of online Applications which they could easily integrate with their Operating System. This is already creating a lot of buzz on the internet and I can not wait to see what other details will they be giving about this new Operating System.

Update (7:22pm): The partners that are supporting Chrome OS have been announced and Google has announced a small FAQ answering some of the questions that have been going around the internet. The first question asked is the one that many were hoping to hear, Chrome OS will be free. And the list of partners supporting Chrome OS say a lot about what we could expect. Just to mention a few of the sponsors are Adobe, ASUS and HP. Two of those are one of the biggest creators of NetBooks. This gives a bigger answer to everyone, Chrome OS will come out strong.

My new Eee PC.

Asus Eee PC 100he

I finally decided to spend some money and buy a new computer that I can take anywhere I want. I do have another laptop but it has battery problems and it needs to be connected at all times, it is also very heavy to carry around. So I decided to got for a netbook, one of the new small laptops that are ultra portable and extra light. I ordered from NewEgg.com an Eee PC 1000HE and I must say that I love it so far. I’ve been playing with it for a few hours now and the battery is still going, it is said to last at least 8 hours. It is small and light but it is 10inches which makes it not too small but just small enough. It brings 160GB hard drive which is more than enough for what I am planning to use it for. The keyboard because it is small took a little to get use to but it is not that big of a deal. I would truly recommend anyone to get a Netbook because they are super portable. You just have to know that it is small and it is not meant for everything, it does have its limitations.
