Google has announced that its Chrome OS platform will follow its browser's footsteps with a four-week update cycle. The new schedule will begin in the third quarter of the year. To sync the OS and browser schedules, Google will skip the M95 release for Chrome OS.

For enterprise and education users who don't want to follow or can't keep up with this faster update cycle, Google will introduce a new channel with a more manageable six-month schedule by the time M96 is ready. The company will announce more details soon.
