Google Chrome OS is one of the greatest inventions ever created by the folks at the search engine giant. Announced on July this year, the new Google Chrome OS will feature a small, fast-booting platform, which enables web users to get hook up to the web within a few seconds. For example, you’re able to gain access to Google’s apps or web services without any hassle or worry about viruses, malware and security updates. The Google Chrome OS team plans to open source the project and will be available for consumers in the second half of 2010 at no cost. Upon hearing this piece of news, some people sang praises whereas the rest still prefer to use traditional operating systems such as Windows or Mac.
Despite being “one of the hottest topics” on the world wide web this year, but that didn’t stop China’s largest search engine – Baidu, from developing an OS similar to Google Chrome OS. According to Wall Street Journal’s interview with Robin Li, CEO of the NASDAQ-listed company, Baidu plans to penetrate into the OS market by building an OS to suit the growing netbook market. He said that it is currently in development.

i tried Chrome OS and it is pretty much like a scaled down version of Ubuntu. Chrome is just based on Linux and there is not much innovation in it.
