Google Chrome OS ( Chromium OS )

Announced
in July 2009 and based on its Chrome web browser and a Linux kernel,
OS Chrome is free, easy, fast and secure. Note, however the
majority of information about Google Chrome OS still vague, and
the version that is unveiled is not final. It is
especially Google to offer drivers to run their OS on most machine as
they wants to make a real success so Google going work together with
Acer, Asus, Adobe, Freescale, HP, Lenovo, Toshiba, Texas Instruments,
and the Asus where AsusNetbooks would be part of the first machines to
use Chrome
OS .

The Google OS ,
Called Google Chrome OS is specifically designed to run applications
online. This is another specialty that Google has just remove the word
beta (testing) of its Gmail Web mail, calendar’s Google Calendar and
its software for word processing and spreadsheet documents online
Google. The software will be tightly bound to the browser of the same
name Google Chrome.

 The operating system by Google
The computers need an operating system to work, and this even if
they are just in order to launch a browser. A browser (Internet
Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari…) Needs a system that will
link to the material, components and peripherals,
Located on the computer. Google have a different approach with online
applications and
services that need to be connected to the central computer should be
the browser, not the operating system.Besides Google talked about its
new OS as a
windowing system based on Linux kernel.

Why
does Google using Linux because Linux is free and secure .The
new system, Google will initially aimed at netbooks to offer laptops in low prices and used as a backup machine. Their
main function is to connect to the Internet to meet their emails or
surf.

Google Chrome OS is not an absolute novelty, from
July the Google started the trickle of information by November, December 2010 Google Chrome OS will be a reality and users
will have the opportunity to purchase PCs, netbooks in particular, equipped
with the new operating system.

In the images displayed by Google can appreciate the simplicity and total
lack of transparency . Moreover, the work environment will be very
family for those who already use the Google Chrome browser. Tool of

applications, which of course will be web application nothing installed on the local
if not the main elements of the operating system.

application that can open PDF files correctly, in addition to link to
Google Docs. Chrome OS does not intend to be a closed system and
provides access to Microsoft Office Web app; this feature by itself
minimal.

Even for the data we have cloud
computing . Google Docs has helped to spread the knowledge of cloud
computing for saving data, documents modified or created it
provided the use of online resources. With Google Chrome OS will still
possible to manage USB drive or memory card.

 Google Chrome OS
Google Chrome OS represents an optimal integration of Google
Apps within a software environment developed and designed to measure. 
In the traditional os the steps that precede
access to the application are multiple and include the startup BIOS
booting the kernel, the initiation of services and finally the access
application. The operating system Google reduces all these intermediate
stages
using firmware and kernel optimized and guarantees, according to
demonstration earlier view, access to the Web browser in 10 seconds.
Comparison very significant access to the browser with Google Chrome OS
seen as turning on a television set, instantaneous. See this this video
that shows innovations of Chrome OS that how fast it can boot .

Google has provided good data security and this
Google Chrome OS provides the performance of individual applications ,web
application within a dedicated sandbox so from that environment for malicious and
virus infection never impossible to damage the system. Moreover, storing data in cloud implies a
authentication process to access also use
cryptographic algorithms.

Google intends to provide precise specifications for OEMs interested in
marketing solutions Chrome OS, and between specific
announced for use of solid state drives. Google considers
particularly interesting for its own operating system and the Netbook

Developers will have much work to be addressed,
particularly
way with partners. The development of software drivers, the possible
realization of
devices specially developed for Google Chrome the OS will work better. Google announced that they
will soon disclose the names of partners,where in the past
days were circulating on the net names Adobe Acer, Asus, Freescale, HP,
Lenovo,
Qualcomm, Texas, and Toshiba. For Google the relationship and
collaboration with OEMs is a big challenge.

 Security in Google Chrome OS

  • Chromium OS has been designed from the ground up with security in mind.
  • Security is not a one-time effort, but rather an iterative process that must be focused on for the life of the operating system.
  • The goal is that,
    should either the operating system or the user detect that the system
    has been compromised, an update can be initiated, and—after a
    reboot—the system will have been returned to a known good state.
  • Chromium OS security
    strives to protect against an opportunistic adversary through a
    combination of system hardening, process isolation, continued web
    security improvements in Chromium, secure autoupdate, verified boot,
    encryption, and intuitive account management.For complet overview check here at ofiicial site

 

Conclusion
For Google it is important to offer a product to offer users a faster and convenient with web
application. The business model is based on Google’s online advertising and
it is unthinkable that this orientation is changed and Google Chrome OS is
therefore understood as an additional tool used by Google to convey
to the greatest number of users as possible their advertisements,
increasingly filtered and contextualized.

Moreover, even the
