Intel Is Working With Google on Chrome OS

From PC World -

Intel, one half of the Wintel duo (Microsoft Windows being the other half) that has dominated the PC world for the past few decades, has been working with Google on the Chrome operating system for some time.

The Chrome OS, to be launched in H2 2010, is intended for desktops, laptops and netbooks, all devices dominated by Windows, so supporting Chrome could actually put Intel in an awkward position with Microsoft.

On the flipside, Intel has also been seeking more support for putting its microprocessors, such as the Atom, into smaller devices. Simultaneously, Intel has been working on its own mobile OS for small computer devices, a Linux-based OS called Moblin. It was designed for netbooks and handheld computers Intel calls MIDs, or mobile Internet devices.
