Well, today Google announced the upcoming Google Chrome OS. I never thought I’d say this, but this is a good thing for the casual user that use their netbooks or lower powered computers that only need to access the Internet for mail, communication and other web related items.

Google Chrome OS is an open source, lightweight operating system that will initially be targeted at netbooks. Later this year we will open-source its code, and netbooks running Google Chrome OS will be available for consumers in the second half of 2010. Because we’re already talking to partners about the project, and we’ll soon be working with the open source community, we wanted to share our vision now so everyone understands what we are trying to achieve.

Now… let’s see how advertising works it way into this.
