Mozilla today announced Boot to Gecko, a very ambitious project that aims to create a “complete, standalone operating system for the open web.”
This project’s goal is to develop what seems like a ChromeOS-like operating system where all the apps are based on HTML5. This system will use Google’s own open-source Android platform as its basis. The focus, Mozilla’s VP or Technical Strategy Mike Shaver noted in a Google discussion forum today, will be on the “handheld/tablet/mobile experience.” According to Shaver, we may see some PC-based prototypes, but Mozilla is more interested in the “device space.” Android: Just for Booting and Drivers The Android connection here is that Boot to Gecko will use the Android kernel and drivers to boot the device.

And like Amazon’s launch earlier this year, the company is doing it without the approval of the major music labels and publishers. Google Music will roughly mirror what Amazon showed off in March: A service that loads copies of music that users already own into an Internet-based server, which lets them stream the songs over the Web and onto Android phones and tablets. The Wall Street Journal first reported on Google’s plans.
Google had originally planned a more robust version of the concept, which it was going to introduce with cooperation from the labels. The lack of licenses means that Google’s music service won’t have at least one thing that Amazon already has: The ability to sell songs to consumers. Rosenberg says he expects Google Music to roll out to all U.S.
