The Google Chrome OS, first announced back in July, will be available next week, says a TechCrunch report.
The free, open source operating system should be released in a very early form, as promised, with broader support in 2010.
Said Google at the time: "Speed, simplicity and security are the key aspects of Google Chrome OS. We're designing the OS to be fast and lightweight, to start up and get you onto the web in a few seconds. The user interface is minimal to stay out of your way, and most of the user experience takes place on the web. And as we did for the Google Chrome browser, we are going back to the basics and completely redesigning the underlying security architecture of the OS so that users don't have to deal with viruses, malware and security updates. It should just work."
Google has said in the past that they are working with EEE, Acer, Adobe, ASUS, Freescale, Hewlett-Packard, Lenovo, Qualcomm, Texas Instruments, and Toshiba, mainly on netbook support.
We will have a more updated post next week, if the OS is launched.
