After the Google Chrome Browser launch, Google now announces the upcoming domination of Google Chrome in the world of Operating Systems. Google Inc, owner of the number one Internet search engine, is developing a computer operating system based on its Chrome Web browser, taking aim at Microsoft’s throne within the personal computer operating systems market.
Microsoft seems potentially threatened by Google’s development. While Microsoft currently spans their software products for personal computers, Google steps up to introduce softwares usable on the web.
“The Chrome OS is consistent with Google’s focus on getting people to use software online, which contrasts with Microsoft’s approach of providing programs on the computer itself. Google started offering business software in 2007, allowing users to access spreadsheets and word-processing documents via the Web, just as anyone might access the search engine or Google News.” – source: By Brian Womack (http://www.bloomberg.com)
Google Chrome OS is an open source, lightweight operating system that will initially be targeted at netbooks, and is set to be released during the second half of 2010. It is based on Google’s Chrome web browser running within a new windowing system on top of a Linux kernel — the web is the platform.
