An update of Google Chrome Blog confirmed that Google Chrome Operating System has been released today. A youtube video showed during a conference demonstrates some of Chrome OS functionality. From the looks of the video it’s much like a google chrome browser but with much improved performance in terms of functionality. Applications like word processors, spreadsheets are not installed in your computer and all data basically are stored in the internet.

They also highlight Panels, a persistent window in which you can use to help you manage your applications without affecting your internet activity(eg. viewing videos, reading ebooks).

Competitions are tough but google won’t hold back, I mentioned in my blog before about a great Backup application(dropbox) which you can use but the storage it offers need some reconsideration if you’ll be comparing it to Google. But in terms of it’s functionality dropbox still wins.
