When I’ve heard for the first time that Google is about to launch its new and completely own operating system that can be a direct rival of Microsoft’s Windows, I was a bit shocked and realized – its founders stick to the fact of conquering the Earth.
According to the manufacturers Google Chrome OS will be launched next year, and the company is already communicating with some computer manufacturers to make sure its new OS will be present on a wide range of “netbooks”. It is suggested, that the new OS will feature two main peculiarities: it will offer seamless integration with the web, and secondly, the company is aiming for a system that “just works”. Also the Chrome OS will be “open-source”, and completely combinable with Linux.
Let me just tell you that Google has already expanded its influence in such spheres:
Frankly speaking, one of the best email clients ever. Love Gmail. This mail constantly changes and offers new and new features.
Maps
I think only a deaf person has never heard of Google’s Maps service. It is controversial and thought-provoking but numerous people DO love it.
And that is only a beginning …
While I welcome any new OS that is not microsoft; I am leary of anything new and unproven. Bored hackers in mommies basement will find a way to ruin Chrome as well. I am still using IE-7 and firefox as well. They do everything I expect. I will await the new OS as I am looking for a new laptop now without Vista and can wait till a better OS is functional.
