Google's upcoming Chrome operating system - a new OS that will, according to the search giant, arrive on netbook computers sometime later this year - is also going to offer a feature Google engineers have dubbed, unofficially, "chromoting." Now what's chromoting ? It's remotely accessing your PC applications via the browser. In other words it an be called a remote desktop app for your new cloud computer.This was first uncovered by U.K. tech news site 'The Register' earlier in this week, this news comes directly from a Google engineer who posted the following on the Chromium Google Group, an online message board for discussing the open-source project behind the Chrome browser and Chrome operating system:
We're adding new capabilities all the time. With this functionality (unofficially named "chromoting"), Chrome OS will not only be [a] great platform for running modern web apps, but will also enable you to access legacy PC applications right within the browser.
When requested for more details, the engineer also told that its functionality would indeed be "something like" Remote Desktop Connection, a Windows technology that allows you to connect to a remote computer from the computer you're currently using.
