Chrome OS set to arrive earlier than expected

At Computex 2010, Google's VP of Product Management Sundar Pichai has been talking Chrome OS. That's a good thing, as we're keen to hear anything official Google has to say about the upcoming release of the cloud-powered operating system.

Reuters is reporting that Pichai says Chrome OS will arrive earlier than expected. Although it was originally slated for a December 2010 release, Pichai has indicated that Chrome OS will ship this fall.

As I mentioned yesterday, Chrome OS already looks like something Google could push out as a beta release. Whether that happens soon remains to be seen, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if the half way point (and Apple's WWDC) look like a good time for Google to strike. Google Sites & Chrome For Dummies
