Google Chrome OS is a Linux-based operating system designed by Google to work exclusively with web applications. Google announced the operating system on July 7, 2009 and made it an open source project, called Chromium OS, that November.
Unlike Chromium OS, which can be compiled from the downloaded source code, Chrome OS only ships on specific hardware from Google's manufacturing partners. The user interface takes a minimalist approach, resembling that of the Chrome web browser.
Since Google Chrome OS is aimed at users who spend most of their
computer time on the Internet, the only application on the device is a
browser incorporating a media player and a file manager.
The expected launch date for retail hardware featuring Chrome OS
slipped after Google first announced the operating system: from an
initial forecast date in late 2010 to June 15, 2011, when "Chromebooks" from Samsung (and then Acer in July) actually shipped.
