Google (NSDQ: GOOG) isn’t launching its Google Chrome operating system quite yet—but it is ready to talk about it. During an event Thursday, VP of product management Sundar Pichai said the operating system was a year away from launch but said the company had “made tons of progress” on what will certainly be its biggest assault on Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT) yet.
