Google sheds light on Chrome OS Netbook security
,----[ Quote ]
| Google's Chrome OS Netbook will feature a
| host of built-in security technologies
| designed to protect users from malware and
| other threats, a Google engineer said at the
| RSA Conference Thursday.
|
| Will Drewry, a Google software security
| engineer, said the fact that the company's
| Chrome OS is an open source project allows
| for constant feedback from developers
| regarding security design. This, he said,
| should reassure those acquiring a Google
| Netbook about the product's security.
|
| Google plans to release a consumer version
| later this year and a business version
| featuring more management muscle in 2011,
| Drewry said.

| EB: The way that we've thought about this
| for a while is if you read the Chrome OS
| blog post that we did in July, and you read
| the Chrome browser blog post that we did in
| September in 2008, they're very similar.
| They're essentially the same thing. And the
| reason is because when we were building
| Chrome the browser, we realized that
| everyone is spending their time online. So
| essentially we were trying to build
| something that mimics this operating system
| feelâthere's a task manager in Chrome, and
| that was one of the early additions to
| Chrome.
