Before the year is out, the elusive Google Chrome OS will finally be released into the wild. The unique operating system is based around the popular web browser, and based on previews and specs, it is something worth getting excited about.
Chrome OS is all about simplicity. It helps netbook users focus on web apps and online cloud computing by offering a minimal and intuitive interface that has been specifically designed with netbook computers in mind. It introduces a tabbed approach to netbook computing, following a model almost identical to the Chrome web browser. A home tab gives access to frequently used websites and web apps, while sticky tabs keep important things like Gmail and Google Docks open and ready to use.
While I've never used Chrome OS, from what I've seen it looks absolutely awesome for netbook gaming. It is designed for users who spend most of their computer time on the internet. This internet-centered approach to netbook computing means online casinos will blend in almost seamlessly with your computer. Players will even be able to create dedicated casino tabs and lock them in place, so that their favorite no download casino games are always just a click away.
Unfortunately, Chrome OS will not be available for download. The only way to get it is to buy it pre-installed on a Google-approved netbook computer. No information is available yet about what these machines will be like, but if the rumors are true, we don't have to wait long to find out.
