為了與微軟新作業系統Windows 7競爭市場，Google日前公開新作業系統ChromeOS的全面總覽。 據了解，Chrome OS作業系統的目標是，提供一個快速、單純及安全的平台，並以網路使用為導向，還有大量雲端運算支援。

Chrome部門副總裁皮才表示，Chrome具備速度、簡易和安全性， 並且像電視一樣，開機後能馬上使用。 他相信Google可以提供給使用者更好的電腦系統。 Google即日起將直接釋出ChromeOS測試版，正式版將在明年1月釋出。

Chrome最先將安裝在低價低規格、目前獨領市場風騷的小筆電上， Google希望能趕在明年聖誕節購物季前推出。 第一批可能支援ChromeOS的電腦業者有包括宏碁、華碩、惠普與聯想等。 若Chrome受到市場接受，將可望改變長久以來消費者對微軟視窗系統的使用習慣。

Google Launches New Operating System: Chrome OS

In order to compete for the market against Microsofts new operating system (OS), Windows 7, Google has recently announced an comprehensive overview of its new operating system, Chrome. The understanding is that the purpose of the Chrome OS is to provide a quick, simple, safe platform that is geared towards Internet use, with a large volume of cloud computing support.

Vice president of the Chrome department Sundar Pichai said that Chrome encompasses speed, simplicity, and safety. In addition, use can begin directly after turning the unit on, like a television. He believes that Google will be able to provide users with a better computer system. Google will be releasing the beta version of Chrome OS immediately, while the official version will be released in January next year.

Chrome will first be installed on netbooks, which are low-priced with low specifications yet are currently leading market trends. Google hopes to launch this prior to the holiday shopping season next year. The first group of computer companies which may be supporting the Chrome OS include ACER, ASUS, Hewlett-Packard, and Lenovo. If Chrome gains market acceptance, it may have the potential to change the long-time consumer habit of using Microsoft Windows systems.
