The Simple Google Chrome OS Guide (With Resources)

What is Google Chrome OS? According to Google’s Weblog, “it is an open source, lightweight operating system with three key aspects: Speed, simplicity and security.” I am a current user of Google Chrome browser. And I really like Chrome’s speed. Google debuted its Chrome OS last week.  Since then, different tech blogs have been writing about Chrome OS nonstop. While there are many tutorials and opinion articles about Google Chrome OS, it is important to identify critical resources and dive deeper with the Chrome OS. I am a big Google fan. Over the past several days, I’ve been reading a variety of Google Chrome OS articles. Here I want to share some of the useful things I’ve learned.

Let’s just call this the “Simple Google Chrome OS Guide.”

1. The Official Google Blog

This is one of Google’s first posts to introduce the Chrome OS. It offers a bird’s-eye view in terms of what Chrome OS is and what it does.

2. TechCrunch

This is a step-by-step guide on how to run Chrome OS on your computer. You must take Google’s open-sourced code and turn it into a bootable computer.

3. TechRadar

TechRadar has written a very informative and easy-to-understand Google Chrome OS guide, named “10 things to know about Google Chrome OS.” And they are:

1. What exactly is Chrome OS?
2. When will we able to use Chrome OS?
3. So Microsoft need not worry about competition for Windows 7 then?
4. Will it run on my computer?
5. If it’s so heavily web integrated, will it be secure enough?
6. So is this being done entirely in-house by Google?
7. So how will this make my computing experience better?
8. What does this mean for Android?
9. Will this sound the death knell for Ubuntu and Fedora?
10. How much will it cost?

4. CNET

Peter Glaskowsky offers interesting perspectives about Chrome’s future. Personally, I don’t think Mr. Glaskowsky is a fan of netbooks to begin with. But it’s always interesting to hear second opinions about the Chrome OS.

5. Mashable

An interesting article comparing Google and Microsoft. I find it’s too early to put Chrome OS up against the Windows. But hey, it’s Mashable.

6. Gigaom

This article poses four challenging questions Google must solve in order for it’s Chromes OS to move forward. Very interesting analysis, indeed.
