Google has has launched an event to preview its upcoming Chrome OS. It is a new operating system based on Linux and the Chrome browser.

“The entire system is web-based and runs in the Chrome browser — right down to USB drive contents, which show up in a browser tab, and the notepad, which actually creates a Google Docs document. Web apps are launched from a persistent apps panel, which includes Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, and Hulu, among others, and background apps like Google Talk can be minimized to “panels” that dock to the bottom of the screen.”

It is still in early stage, not even in beta yet. Check out the videos after the break.
