How good is Chrome OS, we’re not sure yet. We’ve yet to see it being implemented in a large scale, so there’s no telling how successful this can be. But Google has come up and say that Chrome OS will not be injected into any tablets or any other platform. That means we’ll be looking at netbooks for now. This is what Sundar Pichai, Senior VP of Chrome, has to say at their Google I/O event about Chrome OS:

“[Chrome OS] is a new experience we’re working on. It’s hardware agnostic in a sense. We are fully, 100 percent focused on laptops. Most of the web usage — greater than 90 percent — is on laptops. That’s what we’re working on today, and we have no other plans on any other form factors.”

In related news, Sundar also addressed questions regarding the company’s decision to rely on both Chrome OS and Android. When asked to “reconcile [Google's] two big strategic visions,” he hit us with the following:

“There are a variety of experiences out there, and the web model is very different. We’re comfortable seeing them coexist. Google Movies and YouTube have web versions — when you use a Chromebook, you see how it’s different, and they’ll naturally coexist. These are very different models — if we didn’t do something like Chromebooks, I’m pretty sure someone else would.”

Well, there you go. Chrome OS will be very much like Android, a package that includes hardware and software.
