Its being reported that Google is planning to hold a special Chrome OS event at its headquarters in Mountain View, CA this Thursday morning. The plan is to give some technical background information as well as show off some demos. More notably, they will be giving a "complete overview" of the new OS, which they say will launch next year.
Sundar Pichai, Google's VP of Product Management and Matthew Papakipos, Google Engineering Director for Google Chrome OS will be speaking at the event. And there will be a Q&A session afterwards.
So as they are holding an overview meeting with a clearly defined road map for release it looks like they have made some serious ground on this since the announcement earlier this year.
When we know more, we will let you know more!
