Google opened source code of Chrome OS

Google has opened the source code for Chrome OS. Let me remind you that the presentation of the system took place last night , and the OS is intended primarily for use on mobile devices that are constantly connected to the Internet - netbooks, for example. The core of Chrome OS is the Chrome browser, and the system itself can run only web applications.

Chrome OS chip - speed. The OS loads in a maximum of seven seconds and is supposedly faster than the latest version of the Chrome browser under Windows or Mac OS. At the same time, most of the OS data is stored on servers on the web. The device itself stores only temporary files that are used to speed up the system.

Chrome OS supports the fifth version of one of the main markup languages ​​of the Internet, HTML, WebGL graphic standard, Flash player and Native Client technology, which is designed to speed up web applications through direct access to CPU resources on a user's local computer.

However, there were some drawbacks, too. For example, Chrome OS only supports SSD hard drives. Fans of mechanics go straight to the “obsolete house”. But the processors are supported as x86, and ARM-architecture. The main distribution channel of the system is supposed to sell netbooks with a pre-installed Chrome OS. The first samples of such mini-laptops should appear on the market in the third quarter of 2010.
