"In the second half of 2010, Google plans to launch the Google Chrome OS, an operating system designed from the ground up to run the Chrome web browser on netbooks. 'It's our attempt to re-think what operating systems should be,' Google writes tonight on its blog."

So?
- Many experts have long believed that Chrome was Google's first step to recreating the Operating System (http://tinyurl.com/mpxzt3).
- It will be free, unlike Windows.
- It will mean that (if you take it up) Google will know everything you do, not just what you do online – the holy grail for targeting & trending.
- They've already done it on mobile phones (Android) and Android has already been successfully ported to netbooks.
- Netbooks are so cheap now, that Google are likely to produce an end-to-end produc: Google laptops, with their OS and Chrome installed.
- It'll likely be an open-source OS (As Google writes, "We have a lot of work to do, and we're definitely going to need a lot of help from the open source community to accomplish this vision.")
