Google plans to release a consumer version later this year and a business version featuring more management muscle in 2011, Drewry said.

All of the Google Netbook products will ship with the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) installed for security in key storage and multi-factor authentication in the future, as well as a "trusted bootpath," Drewry said. TPM is an industry-standard hardware module based on an architecture from the industry forum Trusted Computing Group.
The Google Chrome OS is a "hardened" operating system, according to Drewry. The auto-updating and sandbox features are inte... |
