According to the latest information forwarded by Google representatives on Tuesday, the Internet search giant has scheduled a media event for its web-centric operating system Chrome OS on Thursday, where the OS will be technically demonstrated.

The event, to be held at the company’s Mountain View campus, will also see Google outlining its plans for a 2010 launch of the Chrome OS.

About the media-centric event, a Google spokesperson said in an email: “While this will be more of a technical announcement, we will be showing a few demos that will definitely be of interest to you as well as a complete overview and our launch plans for next year.”

Google has extended an invitation to PCMag. com to cover the Thursday demonstrations, which will be jointly hosted by Sundar Pichai, Google’s Vice President of product management, and Matthew Papakipos, Chrome OS’ engineering director.

At the event, Google will probably be asked several questions about the forthcoming OS, as well as its hardware partners, including Acer, Hewlett-Packard and Adobe, among others.

Announced four months back, the Google Chrome OS essentially blurs the fine between an operating system and a browser. Targeting the perpetually-connected apps, the OS will give developers a chance to develop new applications. However, users who are not too familiar with a compiler will have to wait until Chrome OS is fully functional and it usage takes root.
