Every Geek Blog is talking about it! After 4 months of waiting, Google’s Chrome OS is supposedly slated to be launched next week.
Seeing how this is going to be an early version of the OS, driver support will probably be few and far between. Keep in mind, however, that the Chrome OS is more or less designed to target the Netbook crowd, so this probably won’t be the ideal release for the more powerful computers. According to the original article at TechCrunch, there are numerous conflicting rumors about whether or not Google has its own engineers working on creating hardware drivers, or if they are going to rely on the hardware manufacturers to create the drivers. Be careful, Google. You don’t want another Windows Vista driver problem out there.
I don’t know about you, but I’m beginning to think that a netbook is looking quite attractive as a holiday gift…I’d love to try out Google’s OS.
