Google Chrome OS – Hype, Insight, Speculation and Assumption
Since past few days there has been lots of gossip in the air regarding the announcement of the new Google Operating System A.K.A. Chrome OS.
What is this Chrome OS?
Is it a derivative of yet another Linux Distro?
Is it a yet another marketing campaign of Google against its well known rivals?
Or Is it a new experiment to drive user traffic after the success of Gmail, Orkut, Google Earth and other web tools?
Whatever the reason may be, it appears to be yet another warship strategy of Google that announces “Try to stop me if you can!”
This had indeed raised lots of questions, curiosity and may be even a wave of insecurity to some existing OS developers, especially when its claimed to be FOSS (Free Open Source Software) release.
As for end user world, there has been lots of gossiping and rumoring regarding Chrome OS. Yet very few have set their journey for hunting down facts.

Suprising how new linux users fall for the "i am a FLOSS friend, this google thing is hurting FLOSS" line. The trolls are tripping over themselves to get out the "bad news".

If google's OS is really designed to shake Doze, then google will do a good job at it. FOSS or not, it has a good team. My client who tried OOo but failed due to spreadsheet rendering, uses Google docs ( based on OOo ) extensively as his spreadsheets render just like Excel. Only time will tell how google's OS supports hardware of different types. It may be the transition point between Doze and Linux.

The fact that Google Docs is based on OOo seems interesting. Could you please point me to where you came across that fact?
Thanks.

Try using the help for the Google Docs. About a year ago, I used it and saw OOo help files on the screen.
