Google has announced that it is working with several firms on Chrome OS hardware, including Acer, Asus, Freescale, Hewlett-Packard, Lenovo. Apparently they have pledged to build machines that will run its Chrome OS. In reality this probably means nothing unless they also pledge to not ship the hardware with Microsoft Windows and distribute products with Chrome installed by default as the only OS. As far as we know, nobody is actually saying that! More interestingly Google have also said it is working with Adobe on the operating system. One could speculate on whether Chrome might be the OS of choice for the next generation of televisions… but it is still early days.
