Google vice president: Chrome OS will be released in the fourth quarter as planned

According to chromesource, Sundar Pichai, vice president of product management at Computex cloud computing forum in Taipei, confirmed that Chrome OS will be listed in the fourth quarter of this year to compete for the Christmas market.

In addition, when asked how to deal with the relationship between Chrome and Android, Pichai replied: our open-source platform allows the market to freely choose the operating systems that they think are most suitable for the public, android has achieved remarkable success, and how Chrome OS will develop in the future will be equally interesting.

Today, a website published a message saying that Google will release Chrome OS during Apple's WWDC to snatch the limelight of the helper, but it is obviously not Google's style to release the product half a year earlier than originally planned, in addition, Pichai's speech confirmed that this was a false news.

In an article, Kevin TOFEL of gigaom also believes that there is still a gap between Chrome OS and the final release:

Chrome OS was initially released as a netbook operating system, but with the popularity of the tablet market, Google must consider making some changes to Chrome OS to make it more friendly to users' fingers.

In the same article, Om Malik believes that the recently acquired 3D desktop company BumpTop will also be integrated into Chrome OS, which also takes some time.
