I am also knowing personally developer of "Chrome OS" as it is being made in Google office on Balchug st. Moscow. They are hiring intern who is changing wallpaper of something called "Ubuntu" to read "CHROME OS."
I too am not understanding business model of "loss leader" which is not leading. But then Russia is preferring to sell tangible items, oil, gas, airplane, spacecraft and such for high profit. Perhaps we leave business model of zero profit to the West. Is clear from state of economy, America has many interesting ideas to offer world.
I now your ill, but stop blogging about Google giving away industry secrets.
I just unload into Google, a few hundred "bright PHD engineers" that our Vista executive, brain fart, hired.
Transfered over a few dozen "bright business people" to run Windows 7 instead so please do not give Sergy, the Russian Prince, any ideas.
Computer science PHDs? We are hiring!
We coined "The Network is The Computer" back in 80s!
We need some PHDs to work on fractal asymetric chaotic kentic magnetic semantic computing!
We are calling it FACK-MS.
We just need to transfer some money from Google "investors" up to Portland to cushion the down turn, unlike you we do have a lot of recurring costs.
Will make it up to once Vlad and HU get on-line with the capitalism thing.
I am sorry. It was me the destroyed the minds of those a Sun and now Google.
I cannot stand to see the horrible legacy of Ph.D electronic slide ruler tards that I have created.
Farewell Dear World.
what? Brin is russian.
This will help Russia and China replace all those free versions of Windows we stole and did not pay for with free versions of Google Chrome OS.
We can then stop worrying about Gates spying on us.
With Google Chrome cloud computing it will be much easier for Russian and Chinese friends to steal US government stock market manipulation trading programs as they will already be posted in the "Wave".
Do not blame me! President Bush Sr. made to put in the spying codes otherwise he was going to send my son to Gitmo prision.
I regret it very much, very sorry, but if either of you switch to Chrome OS and do not pay up soon for all the copies of Windows you stole then I may need to active the nuclear codes.
Thank you for the check but I ask you not to contact Vlad nor Hu as I have worked hard to extend my unclenched fist.
We have also the nuclear codes into Google Search - why do you think every search for "water' in Russia turns up 1,000 ads for different types of Vodka.
What is this Chrome thingy? I just added some chrome lifters to my pickup to get me over the melting permafrost this summer.
Report to headquarters immediately for de-programming.
You cannot hide, we've been on your trail for 3-days.
We've not yet recieved the Haliburton shares as promised during the last campaign.

When do I get front page like promise? I need more publicity to scare Western pig to give more thing! Hurry, pretty soon it affect my cash flow!
Too soon?
In fact every person who has told me that the internet is slow i have said try chrome and not one of them (not techies at all) have had problems in 1. finding it 2. installing it 3. using it and every single one has told me that it is that much better than their old web browser.
Have you tried the incognito window yet? great for visiting sites that you aren't sure about as it holds everything within the window and doesn't allow background installs so virus ridden sites are now a thing of the past for me. Only download's need to be scanned now and I'm glad for that no more need to have your anti virus chugging at everything.
Then theres the comprehensive history and easy tab restore functions, instant memory usage info (type in about:memory), Download history, easy bookmarking (single click then hit ok), draggable tabs (you can drag from one window to another or even detach them)
and before someone goes google employee im not, I just wish some people (noting the blogger) would give free ware a bit of a chance. I see the net as a place to get almost any information for nothing, like encyclopedias etc. Surely the net wasn't designed for the richer people.
I have tried 7 (Windows 7) and noted that it runs on my 6 yr old laptop whereas Vista wont so I have given it a thumbs up for the first time since I got a new OS in 2002 (XP). Now chrome have plans I may wait to upgrade even longer just to see what its like.
My name is Linus Torvalds. I invented the Linux kernel. Maybe you should use spell-check, Steve. Have you heard of it?
Maybe you should read the above sentence again. Take your time.
You've got that wrong, laddie. It was my line, not his.
GoogleOS isn't going to re-create the wheel with regard to applications, they will leverage the best of breed internet services with their core services (i.e. gmail, voice, wave).
Furthermore they are building an OS like MS did originally with MS-DOS, that's to say on-top of another OS. In Google case this is Linux, a seasoned OS w/20 years of development as you've already noted.
Perhaps it wont replace your native OS, but it doesn't have to in a dual bootable world, hell you don't even need to dual boot in this case to jump from their environment to Linux.
That's a good way to implement employee synergy and achieve success metrics with skill redeployment best practices.

Welcome back Fakesteve. How did we ever get by without you?
My MSI Wind is running 10.5.7 (hooked up to a 1920x1200 pixel display thru the VGA port at the moment) much more smoothly than it ran XP with which it shipped. Almost makes me want to pay for an extra retail copy of Leopard.
But Steve, we all know you will dominate netbooks by reinventing them shortly.
I like the idea of moving all of our business data onto Google Servers and having all out employees work in the cloud all day long watching mortgage and viagra ads.
Before I get too confused, it's probably a reference to Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie, who subsequently admitted that it was all a joke:
http://www.stokely.com/lighter.side/unix.prank....
I'll still give the GoogleOS a try when it comes out, but now I'll feel more guilty about it.
"They send one of yours to the hospital, you send one of their's to the morgue"
It was Sean Connery in the Untouchables.
The iPod wasn't the first MP3 player, and the iPhone wasn't the first smartphone - by years.
The rumours of an Apple netbook / UMPC have been around since before netbooks were for sale, and they've openly said they're watching the market - that's not missing, that's waiting for the right moment.
Take the MacBook battery technology + an OLED screen + a lighter, more efficient OS + whatever ARM/PowerVR stuff all those chip designers they've bought are up to, and I reckon you'd have a category killing machine. The kind that you can sell for more with a nice high margin, just the way Apple likes it, but still way cheaper than a Windows UMPC.
The Java project at Sun was run by a guy named Eric Schmidt. Not sure what ever happened to him, but Java completely failed as a client-side platform and now legions of Google programmers and others are writing web apps using hideous kludges like Javascript and AJAX. Everyone (including Apple) is trying to speed up Javascript because it's dog slow, and HTML 5 is trying to provide some real graphics capabilities. None of this would be necessary if Sun and Schmidt hadn't fucked up Java in the first place, and we'd be fifteen years into network-centric applications ("cloud computing") instead of three years.
Android uses Java for its application platform, but it had to be largely reinvented to run semi-right on a phone: they use a new object code and virtual machine design, and reinvented a lot of the frameworks.
The chaos at Google that FSJ hilariously makes fun of is Schmidt's fault too. Why does anyone take this guy seriously?
anyway, to make me believe this, you gotz to through in some stories about john poindexter and alexander haig. and how you never trusted that cheney kid, hanging out with rummy in the back rooms. that's the dick we all know in love!
Thought we locked you up for good. I in fact invented the network operating system.
No wonder I couldn't find it in my portfolio.
Hahaha... Is that why you're looking up the iPhone?
And I'm not talking about the baseband. Rather the iTunes sync algorithm which has been cracked on iPhoneOS 1.x
This is google's sneaky way to get that demographic to change and garner Google additional Mindshare with the general public.
Only Google is attacking gaining acceptance from the ground up rather than the top down...beginning with free services and APIs and building toward wide adoption and eventually an OS.
You get the picture.
I think it's easy to criticise in the early days - like you say: these things take time. If you don't like it don't use it. If you're still not using it in ten years time (and no-one else is either), you can sit back, feel smug and vindicated.
At this point I'm not sure if Google are genuinely stupid, because there is plenty of evidence of that, or they are simply playing a strategic game. Perhaps they feel they need to fire back at MS because of Bing? Perhaps they're concerned about the potential of new technologies to rise and suck away their user base, such as flash or silverlight (both of which deserve to die). Perhaps it's a weak attempt to put deflationary pressure on OS prices and suck away revenue from rivals? In any case, I can't see it working no matter their objectives.
Oh, and yeah. Google is the LAST company in the world I'd trust with my data.
It might get some traction but, yeah, they're not gonna make any money off it. They are gonna get a lot of press, though.
Notice how Google stopped caring about chrome whenever every other major browser beefed up their JS and became more multi-threaded? They didn't build it because they wanted to make a browser, they were just pissed that there weren't any good browsers out there and wanted guide everyone in the right direction.

It's going to be who controls the eyeballs and the cash those eyeballs spew. Whether Chrome soars or crashes, it's about improving internet experience for user and milking that experience for however much cash it's worth.
And Google knows that ...
Chrome has always been about yanking everybody's chain ... do better or we'll take over. Laughable, but then why is it a nervous laugh with a couple of sweat streams down the side of of a lotta' balding heads? Google isn't even competing with Apple, in fact my friend at the FTC wants to have a word about the closeness of the two companies, so may be there should be some distance now, you think?

It WAS William Deniro in the move The Unstoppables. Directed by Manfred Mann, based on the true story of Mike Ness. Sean Connery couldn't have been in it because he was already dead by the time the movie was made.
DL/FSJ, you rock again. Brilliant. Only wish a few of the fact-tard comments might be, like, cut. We already know: Many don't get it.
Fuck em if they can't identify a joke.

Do they ever sell NetWare anymore? Does anyone care if Novell still exists?
Microsoft is not invulnerable. Doing a half-baked version of what they do isn't going to un-invulnerable-ize them. :-)
...right before I droped out of school and FACKED THOSE ENGINEER Ph.D students IN THIER ASS!
It is a brilliant piece...
then again, if apple is getting any kickbacks from da google for using WebKit, or a percentage kickback on the ad revenue generated, well then i say, more power to 'em, fakey steve-o. go with throttle fully up!
by the way —>> "Frankly, if the entire netbook market caught fire, I wouldn't piss on it to put it out. But that's just me."

oh my freakin' god, i pissed myself, fearless leader, when i read that one. hilarious and classic. but i expect no less from you.
also, an interesting take on all this "free"-culture you mention in point 8, somewhat like what you said, but with a bit more of a positive spin on how google makes it all work in their favor, from chris anderson of wired, who also wrote "the long tail," (and no, that's not a night with andrea jung promising "me love you long time!"), in his new book, "free" on this internet culture of giving everything away for free and how it still makes 'em loads of dough rei me$$$. good interview with him about it on terry gross's fresh air.
pause now while woz chimes in about terry gross and andrea jung, saying, "i'd hit it." tsk. so predictable.
I look forward to you admitting again you were "snowed" or whichever euphemism you'll pick for "My prejudice prevents me from having a clue".
Excellent post and I'm glad to see you finally "release the hounds!"
Google is more than the New Borg. they could well be the new Anti Christ as well. there appears to be enough confusion at Goog to keep a regiment of mental health professionals working overtime for the next 20 yeqrs. Of course by the time they ship Chrome, the market will have oxidized and they won't be able to see a path to clear water.
but thanks for clearing up the role of Eric and Al Gore on the board.
the lentels, yogurt and a clean pallet as well as new home spun await your renewal here at the Ashram.

Man that's impressive.
welcome back FSJ
President GW Bush Sr. made me add in the Windows spying code or else he was going to send my only son to Gitmo.
I regret it very much but if either of you switch to Chrome OS then I will activate the nuclear codes.
BUT.. I do think fake steve missed out on one good point of the Google OS for Google - they can set Google.com as the default search engine and Chrome as the default browser, this could help them get more search traffic in the battle against Microsoft who I think gets a lot of their search traffic from being the default in Internet Explorer.
Also, this was very amusing.
The comments, on the other hand, make my eyes bleed - we need more lions in the pit to remind the unwashed masses of their place.
Go start a business and learn how business works. Sorry you wasted all that money at engineering school, now get back to coding.
Here is how Google's bright PH.d Students designed the logo:

Your convalescence did you wonders!!
Keep it up!
But I disagree when it comes to chrome. Chrome is a work of Art, its simple and much faster than any other browser, Doesnt have the memory leaks of POS mozilla, and displays everything properly unlike Explorer.
I guess I just like simple and clean, thats how all design should be.
And I use Chrome!
Thanks for keeping it real.
Exactly. But Chrome OS is not a desktop operating system :) Mostly everything will happen in the cloud.
Chrome is shit. Chrome OS is shit. 20% dreamtime is shit. Apps and gmail are all shit... Well, I guess you pay all your transactions with shit over there, because all these are just the best fckng monetization model yet on the web, and the web is the future...
Point ten: Iphone, Apple and Safari are shit.
Real point? If you have a tiny dick, don't try to talk big; it won't grow anyway. Instead, go buy a BMW or something that'll do the trick, or at least make U feel like U got bigger one..
For christ's sake, let the guys play; if they fail, let them. I mean, it's not like it's YOUR money they're spending...
Chrome OS will become quickly official National OS in many national states. It also features Chinese Firewall support (*) and will become official national operating system of Mainland China. But public perception problem is, most of the google os architects work in Taiwan, and PRC leadership would be embarassed to use ROC technology. This is why Taiwanese brand their Express Gate project as Mountainview and the PRC authorities are fine. You know how we played our games on Microsoft with Android. We dropped Android just to use our Google OS.
Android is a advange attack against your iphone technology of your company but we use our Google OS to combat Microsoft.
*) Forget US media polemics, Mainland China is advancing the effort and our other governments followed. All governments want security enhanced internet features, in particular for educational users.

GET THE FACK OFF THE INTERNET... NOW!
This year with CRUSH the Google Ph.D Students....AGAIN.
I even warned them not to hire all the Pd.D clown from SUN.
They just cannot stop reading Knuth volumes! LOL.
Been going on since we crushed Novel Netware, then Borland, then IBM, then WordPerfect, then Sun, then Apple, then Sybase, then Oracle, ...
The business world does NOT give a FACK about OPEN, nor about "IF".
I stopped reading after: "They've already got Android, and nobody wants it."
We are desperately trying to copy Micrsoft's business model this time, because at Sun we got crushed.
Now we are still Ph.D students and have trouble letting our fears go.
By tha way,Do you want ourrr IPv12 solution ?
We giver you special prrice forr you today.

Thx nice blog Steve!(w)
Linus Torvalds is a native of Finland, not Denmark.
Mostly enjoyable
Now bow down and worship me for the messiah that I am.
Umm, n00btard... chrome is safari wearing a different skin.
:chrome: [from automotive slang via wargaming] n. Showy features
added to attract users but contributing little or nothing to
the power of a system. "The 3D icons in Motif are just chrome,
but they certainly are *pretty* chrome!" Distinguished from
{bells and whistles} by the fact that the latter are usually
added to gratify developers' own desires for featurefulness.
Often used as a term of contempt.
That's also why there's no Chrome for OS X or Linux yet - it's not just a skin on WebKit, like some alternative OS X browsers.
Now, bow down and worship me for the Messiah that I am.
Sean Connery said that in The Untouchables, not DeNiro.
Anyway: Anybody who didn't figure out that Google are frickin' evil as soon as they started bundling the "Sooopah dooopah fwee Google Toolbar" with every single piece of bloody software that it's possible to download.... Well, they're stoopid. Google are phucks every bit as evil as Micro$haft.
to the hospital, you send one of theirs to the morgue".

Verdict on Chrome OS vs. winodws http://www.taranfx.com/blog/?p=1356
Both are different segments, Not competiting
I like Chrome, Safari, Mozilla, IE, Google, Microsoft, Apple.
But more than all that shit I like my talent, my creation, my superb-ness.
So just buy my new album - there will be BRAND NEW KANYE OS on it, I promise!
Nice havin' you back, FSJ.
Point three: They're aiming this OS (or as we call it, "POS")
Nobody wants Android? A few large phone producers and laptop builders want it and implement it.
Build an OS around Chrome?
It just a matter of picking the proper Linux distro or extending Android.
As Steve Jobs wannabe, you must know about the succes of the iPhone and the continuing market share Apple gains on the desktop?
IPhone OS is OS X 10.4.11, and it works like a charm.
Compare this to the that upperly crippled M$ implementation. Their OS is the worst in the world on usibility, security and compatibility. But their mobile OS is probably the most ugly, ill performing unstable,piece of windoze Me modified code.
So I think Google with their name, might be able to push Linux more to the desktop.
And oh my, I hope they do!
Linus Torvalds and his native Finland.
Good points otherwise but this screw-up could have been avoided with a Wikipedia lookup.
get it?
Anthony
Kudos!
Oh, the pain.
That's it, life's purpose solved, you can finally R.I.P. now.
My Friend I don't know nothing but....
I know that... if someone sailing same thing by just renaming and putting some little stuff like calculator. like
in MSW7 just to stay in the market.
then Chrome OS news is interesting It will accelerate all those who are standing still. not doing new things. But
now they will.
Now They will focus on, not only small stuffs but The real thing performance and stability.
Vista came then 7 came nothing new. But if they don't reduce vista's feature in 7 n provide fast speed then i will say it is a good work. But No
they are reducing things for performance and actually not increasing the speed.Why they don't able to built a virus free OS.I assume that they are getting more money from updates and by solving virus problems.
But Now They must have to work.So they can make Virus free OS.They are walking and Now they will Run.
And it is a Good thing.It is the Beginning.
Competition Creates New things. It accelerates slow things.
By Doing So No Bad Guy can take advantage of its shit.
Good Luck
Have Fun.
Good thing always wins.So Don't be Afraid.If you are a Good person.

By the way Safari lost pwn2own... again. What was unbeatable? Chrome.
This is the freaking fastest browser its not technical and its easy to use... You idiotic blogger... Google is sick! Don't diss... Nobody uses the browser hardly cause every body bums off Mozilla Firefuck... I used to... then it got to a point where it was too slow!
