Google has announced that it is planning to release its Chrome operating system, for FREE in the autumn 2010.

“We are working on bringing the device later this fall. It’s something which we are very excited by … We expect it to reach millions of users on day one.” said Google vice president of product management Sundar Pichai at CompuTex Taipei, Asia’s biggest IT trade show.

However, the jury is still out on Google’s ability to challenge Microsoft, analysts say, pointing out that it remains to be seen if hardware manufacturers will launch Chrome-based products.

Little wonder that Google decided to phase out Windows “citing Security concerns” !
