During the night Google announced its latest venture and it looks like it is going to be another assault on Microsoft’s market share.  This time Google have unveiled their plans to release the Google Chrome Operating System in the second half of 2010.  Google are calling it the “natural extension of Google Chrome” and they go on to say “the operating systems that browsers run on were designed in an era where there was no web”.

Google mentions that the new operating system will initially be targeted at Netbooks.  This is where the assault on Microsoft starts; most Netbooks currently run Windows XP and due to Chromes lack of demand for high spec hardware, it looks like it will be the preferred choice of operating system for these machines.
