Chrome OS, Google’s Linux-based working system for its Chromebook units, has been round for greater than a decade, however the firm has made a small however notable rebrand: It is now known as ChromeOS, with no areas in between. James Croom, Google’s senior director of selling for ChromeOS, confirmed the change to the sting.

You’ll be able to see the change for your self throughout Google’s ChromeOS dev web page (though the official brand on the high seems to have a lowercase c).

The change has not been carried out in all places but. On this ChromeOS web page on Google’s Chromebook website, for instance, Google nonetheless spells working system as two separate phrases. In response to Croom, the corporate is conscious that the change is not mirrored in all places, nevertheless it’s working to make it seem extra constantly, so it appears like the brand new ChromeOS branding can be modified finally.

I do know this isn’t the most important deal on the planet, however right here at the sting I really like taking a look at branding and logos. It has been a very long time since Apple moved its working methods to the “thingOS” model, and I’m wondering if Google may do one thing comparable. Put on OS nonetheless has a niche. Maybe Google will drop it in favor of WearOS when the Pixel Watch launches this fall? I am additionally going to jot down the phrase “AndroidOS” in order that we are able to collectively manifest it into existence. Or higher but, “FuchsiaOS”.

I am kidding (largely) concerning the final two, and now we have no indication that Google plans to vary something apart from ChromeOS. However in case you’ve gotten used to typing Chrome OS with that area, it is formally time to cease.
