Ahead of its press event to talk about the new Chrome OS Google has just posted the source code for Chrome OS on the Chromium site . As you can see in the file structure, Google is doing the same thing it does with Chrome, which is based off of Chromium, the open-source component. So yes, it does appear there is something called Chromium OS, which is the open-source version of what will become Chrome OS.
