Google today unveiled more details of Chrome OS, a lightweight, browser-based operating system for netbooks. With a strong focus on speed, the Chrome OS promises nearly instant boot times of about 7 seconds for users to login to their computers. "We want Google Chrome OS to be blazingly fast ... to boot up like a TV," said Sundar Pichai, vice president of product management for Google. The first Chrome OS netbooks will be available in late 2010, Pichai said. It will not be available as a download to run and install. Instead, Chrome OS is only shipping on specific hardware from manufacturers Google has partnered with. That means if you want Chrome OS, you'll have to purchase a Chrome OS device.
