Google recently announced the new Google Chrome Operating System that it plans to develop for small netbooks to full-size desktop systems.

In its official blog, Google said that Chrome OS will run on both x86 as well as ARM chips and they are working with multiple OEMs to bring a number of netbooks to market next year.

“The software architecture is simple — Google Chrome running within a new windowing system on top of a Linux kernel. For application developers, the web is the platform. All web-based applications will automatically work and new applications can be written using your favorite web technologies. And of course, these apps will run not only on Google Chrome OS, but on any standards-based browser on Windows, Mac and Linux thereby giving developers the largest user base of any platform.” said Sundar Pichai, VP Product Management and Linus Upson, Engineering Director, Google.

Some of the companies that Google are working with include Acer, Adobe, ASUS, Freescale, Hewlett-Packard, Lenovo, Qualcomm, Texas Instruments, and Toshiba.

The largest search engine in the world said that Chrome OS is different from Android operating system as Android was designed from the beginning to work across a variety of devices from phones to set-top boxes to netbooks although it may overlap. However Google said that more choices will benefit consumers including Google.
