1	Well, i know about Ubuntu Netbook Edition, kinda similar. And Jolicloud too, i think that's more into the whole ChromeOS concept. answered Feb 13 '11 at 22:14 Jorge Guberte 61●1●1●6 Thanks for showing me Jolicloud! (Feb 22 '11 at 01:47) Anthony Guidetti

0	Do you mean a variant of Google Chrome or just another Operating System all together? answered Feb 13 '11 at 21:44 FizzNakLe 2.5k●44●56●96

1st thing, chromium is a project name for the whole Chrome line (not just the OS).

There is no real chrome alternative I know. The closest is a light linux dstro with firefox or android with no apps

Windows 7 Starter, and not too far away there will be Windows 8 (for ARM?)...

You will see Operating systems get leaner and faster...

And you can see the validity of this in Internet Explorer 9 (released btw), which is significantly faster than ie8!

Obviously all big corporations are focusing on Mobile, even AMD & Intel, so look for new stuff to come out soon, as it is and will be for some time to come!

Even the original creator of Linux thinks the kernel is far too bloated, so we may see a major overhaul of Linux OSes come out soon too, who knows!
