The announcement at the official Google blog brings Google in direct competition with Microsoft, Apple, RedHat... you get the idea.
Google is working on an operating system targeted primarily at netbooks. The OS will be built around Chrome browser and is being designed to be fast and lightweight.
Google Chrome OS will be open-sourced later this year. The devices running the OS should be available in the second half of 2010.
While GCOS has some overlap with Android, Google believes that the choice is a good thing and suggests there will be a variety of the devices running both operating systems.
This is the biggest tech news of the year since Wave announcement at Google I/O late May and another manifestation of Google's visionary role in the web technology sector. As long as innovation continues to thrive at Google we can be sure that the user experience of the web will continue to improve.
