Chrome OS Will Be Shown This Week

by Sam Dean - Nov. 17, 2009Comments (2)

Rumors have been swirling for days now about possible delivery of Google's much discussed Chrome OS this week. GigaOm pinged a few people at Google to get confirmation on the rumor, and while they didn't get back a specific answer on whether the download will arrive this week, there was an invitation to a press event at Google's Mountain View campus on Thursday morning, billed by the company as "an update on our progress with Google Chrome OS." It sounds like everyone will get to try it very soon. Check out GigaOm for more details.

I will skip Windows 7 and wait for Chrome OS for my home PC. Hopefully, it will be public beta release, not a strictly by invitation like Google Wave

tyson - it will apparently be developed completely in the open - at least according to the video I'm watching now. but according to said video, installing it on an existing netbook will "require a screwdriver" until they're ready with a consumer version next year.
