Google created a furore, when they announced the coming of Google Chrome OS on July 7th 2009. Much speculation has been made since then on how the OS would work and perform. What we know is that the OS is primarily a browser-based OS as opposed to the traditional file-system based OSs -  Google’s way of looking at how modern Operating Systems should be. The Chrome OS team, now, has released some screenshots and a video on what the OS is going to be.
