More recently, the site. chromeossite. com. interviewed Hexxeh, which deals with ... That's actually his questions and answers:.
The main question: I know that you do not have an exact answer to this question, but I still want to hear what you think about when will be officially launched Chrome OS and when do you think. will. the first device based on it?.
I would say that in November-December.
Based on the previous question, do not you think that the way Chrome OS will be a threat to the project Chromium OS? .
I would not say so much a threat to straight. It's a good thing, in fact,. Many people see the Chrome OS Soup in stores and they like the concept of Chrome OS, but they do not want to buy this new laptop or a netbook. And as far as I know, Google is not going to support all existing hardware, many people are still able to come home and get an informal assembly, which will run it on their laptop.
Similarly, many people use third-party firmware for improved system Android, CyanogenMod such. And I suspect that many will want to run and redesigned version of Chrome OS on their devices. I'm pretty sure that the device will include an opportunity to replace the original version of his own version as a development environment. Do not quote me, but I believe that 's the way it is. That's why I believe we will see a huge increase in users is informal assemblies, when Chrome OS devices will be announced and will appear in stores. Already, there are 85,000 users of my builds, and I expect that this number will triple with the launch of Chrome OS.
If you have short-term plans to release a new build Chromium OS? .
In the near future, I'm going to add a virtual machine in the assembly of Vanilla. Above this there is still much work at first screwed QEMU, VMWare Player and then. With VirtualBox will be more hassle, but it can also be expected in the near future.
Do not expect something grand in the next couple of months, the problem at source, and the time has now become smaller because of the college, so that progress will not be so quick. As a first priority now is the problem - to update a series of Flow assembly, bring up the level of Vanilla, but with some additional support for the iron. In the end, I would like to merge these assemblies, but this is still very far. The name also has not yet decided, towards the end we'll see.
Where are you hoping to see their brand ...
Well, while I do not think this is some brand. I think we should focus on maintaining and distributing versions of Chromium OS close to the official version of how this is possible only with an increased number of supported hardware. It seems to me that this is what would be a big part of users, and that 's what I'll continue to work. Let's hope that Google will do something more for the maintenance of the existing iron. I know they do not hope that people will use the Chrome OS right now, but maybe they will support the work after the official release. Although really doubt it. I think that they will leave it to people like me, and it is clear why. Supports all current hardware, so much so as to guarantee the stability and reliability, it is a real problem, I tell you. I do not blame them in this. Any instability will affect them very badly, no matter how many times they warn users.
While this is not an end in itself for me, the challenge is simply to maintain ' freshness ' of the product with the release of the official version.
We have already talked about the possibility of Chrome OS eclipse ' independent ' projects with Chromium OS, but we can see that the invariable success of Chrome OS - is still a topic of hot debate. Do you believe in the fact that Chrome OS will be successful? .
Judging by the number of downloads of various assemblies Chromium OS, then the Chrome OS will be one more blast. Chrome OS much easier to work with a computer that is suitable for many Internet users to a simple. I even predict that it will be akin to running iPads that have become standards in the world odnochaste pills. Many people still criticized for its simplification of the iPad even before its release, complaining that Apple has not equipped it with a system similar to the familiar desktop. Nevertheless, six months later, we are witnessing one of the huge levels of sales of these same iPads. Chrome OS will have to make a similar splash in the market of laptops and netbooks, I think that Google is waiting for a similar success.
This is definitely not a hoax, but there are some big reservations. It was just a cool demonstration of technical. And it's not something over which I have actually worked. However, I will post instructions for those wishing to. But I must warn you that this is quite a difficult process to do this simple vidyushku.
Finally, I ask a question you would like to ask you many admirers. Since you are a prominent figure in the Chromium OS community, whether Google ' sympathetic ' to your endeavors in developing their own assemblies, or you act on your intuition?.
Google was just wonderful, very responsive. They connected me to a few cool developments Chrome and Chrome OS and handed chic Nexus One a few weeks ago. Many thanks to all the guys, looking forward to new meetings with their team in the coming months! .
Interview over, thank you for your detailed answers, good luck and blah blah blah.
Those who read to the end of the interview, it may be interesting to see what is actually Comrade Hexxeh. There has been a sharp revaluation of your interview, after what he saw?.
