Beside the fact that they give a clue on how many users Chrome has until now (about 30 millions) they also give a bit of details on what'll be:</p> <blockquote><p>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</p></blockquote> <p>From what I understand at its core it'll be a Linux distribution, but adapted for web use with a newly windowing system. I'm sure Windows is not that worried, as the new Google Chrome OS will eat up from Ubuntu's market share and why not OS X. Anyway it'll be interesting, mainly because it will be free, fast (they say it's lightweight) and probably more secure. And the question is, will Roboform run on it? Well, they don't give much specifications about Chrome OS but it seems that web applications will run flawlessly (a bonus for Lastpass here) and the others ... me don't know. We'll see how the story evolves, certain is the fact that Chrome will increase its market share and most likely that's why they haven't added anything spectacular to Chrome for a while now. </p>
