Google Chrome OS

One of the worst kept secrets in the technology world that Google has long desired to build an OS to take a shot at the Microsoft Windows monopoly is finally out.
Google are creating a thin client OS that loads fast that works with a linux kernel as base and is designed for netbooks. Not sure how many people like notebooks.they r not so good.
