Google made an announcement this week that they were launching their own OS, an extension to Google Chrome. The reports indicate that they are starting from scratch "the operating systems that browsers run on were designed in an era where there was no web" and that this OS was "our attempt to rethink what operating systems should be".
The new OS is reported to run on an open source licence which could have major cost savings for educational establishments.
Personally, I will be looking at this very carefully when it is eventually released!
