Google Chrome OS boots up in 7 seconds!

Unbelievable, Isn't it? But it is as true as it sounds, the upcoming OS from Google (Which you can currently run on virtual machines) will boot up in just 7 seconds. Google names it "The Chromium Operating System" which is a completely Internet based operating system, which will be incorporated in netbooks by Summer 2010.

The Operating system will reside in the memory itself, rather than slow and bulky hard-drives which is on of the reason for it's quick boot up. Google announced this operating system about 3-4 months back, and since then there were a lot of rumours about the opertaing system. As the fog fades, more relevant and clear information is coming out. BTW, you can test Google Chromium OS yourself if you want to, by running it on a virtual machine. Scroll at the end of the article for a tutorial on this.

Google says that the Chromium OS boots up just as quick as your TV, which is definitely a nice thing, as one major reason for which I preferred cellphones over PCs was that they always remains on, allowing me to quickly surf the web, check the mail, or listen to some nice tunes. People with an unlimited Internet plan will be able to take full use of the Operating system, as it needs to log you into your google account even before it starts. Anyways, stakes are high this time and we hope this OS is a huge success. And for all you non-techies, "Don't call it Android, please"
