Google Chrome OS: A virtual tour

Google's Chrome OS was shown for the first time Thursday, where the company gave a brief demo of the operating system.

Chrome OS has no apps designed specifically for it, like other operating systems do. Instead, every Chrome OS app is a Web app run through the Chrome browser. Chrome OS can use any Web app--the same Web apps you may already use on your PC. In one humorous moment, the presenter showed Microsoft Office Live running on Chrome OS and quipped, "It turns out Microsoft launched a killer app for Chrome OS."
