The Google OS

There have been rumors circulating for years that Google was working on their own operating system. It's now no longer a rumor. The Chrome OS is underway. It's planned as an alternative to Windows XP for netbooks. Consumer netbooks running Chrome OS should hit store shelves next year.

The particularly interesting part of this announcement is that the Chrome OS is a separate project from Android. Android will run on netbooks, and companies like ASUSTek have already said they were exploring the option.

So are we going to see netbooks for sale with two different Google operating systems?
