Internet giant Google today announced it is developing a new operating system for laptop computers in a move seen as a strong challenge to Microsoft's dominance.

The new technology is being designed for those that "live on the web" and is initially aimed at netbooks, although it will eventually be used to power full sized desktops as well.

Google said the new operating system (OS) will run through its nine-month-old web browser, Chrome, and the company said it was going "back to basics" with the technology.
