Google's OS And Storage

If you would like a visual tour of google chrome PC World has the slide show Click here to view. With all this cloud computing and having to access your programs from a cloud. The question that arises is will there be local storage. What if you want to store your pictures an files locally. Since the OS will rely heavily on solid-state memory, both in the form of USB flash drives and SD cards. You can store your pictures and files on a USB drive or Flash card.

Maybe they would even rent out space

So with local caching turned off and no local storage. Google netbooks may offer the best protection for business travellers against espionage. The security on the notebook will be tight.

Google's Chrome Operating System

Google has provided a sneak peak into their Chrome Operating System. At the sneak peak provided at their Mountain View HQ the operating system took 7 seconds to start up. Looks very much like their Chrome browser. Much of the applications are going to be relying on cloud computing.Which would mean that programs are not installed on your PC but are used over the Internet and accessed using a browser.

Google will also be releasing the code for this program for those who would like to play around with it. Using an open source agreement.

It is still not clear as to which hardware makers were planning to use the OS but am sure there will be many who would like to give it a go.

The OS will be released by 2010 and will power lower end PCs called netbooks
