About Google Chrome OS

Google Chrome OS is an open source, lightweight operating system that will initially be targeted at netbooks. Later this year we will open-source its code, and netbooks running Google Chrome OS will be available for consumers in the second half of 2010.

Facts

• Lightweight, web focused OS
• Will work on x86 as well as arm pc's
• Initial targets the netbook market
• It's a separated project from Android
• Uses the Linux kernel

Supposedly even if Chrome OS and Android overlap this won't present a problem. Android remains a mobile phone / smart-phone / netbook operating system and Chrome OS will target netbooks and regular PC's.
