Google’s OS-Google Chrome OS

Palros — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 19:15:27 +0000

If Microsoft has launched big into the search engine market with the release of decision engine Bing, Google has replied strongly by releasing its own operating system Google Chrome Operating System. Both the tech biggies are trying to encroach into each other’s footprints and the war is heating up .Only time will say the devourer and devoured.

After the launch of Google chrome browser which is being used by over 30 million people now, Google is going for its own chrome operating system which will be more internet compatible .Google terms the present era operating systems to be obsolete since their basis were designed in an age where internet was not thought of.

The main outlines of the Google Chrome Browser are:-

Chrome is an open-source open to further development and add on time to time.

Google Chrome is slated to go full fledged in later half of 2010.

Google term the OS light weight in terms of its coded bits.
Furthermore they are collaborating with other open source communities to make it big.

“Speed, simplicity and security” will form the basic essence of the chrome OS.

There will be minimal user interface in Google Chrome which will directly take the user into the web in few moments. Chrome will take the probability of attacking viruses and other malwares to almost zero.

Chrome will be a treat for application developers who can develop their applications in any web based applications which will be compatible in all well known web browsers like windows or Mac.

Chrome Promises to increase the computing time of the user rather wasting time on configuring hardware, software, booting and undue file management. Google chrome will aid people to stay connected all the while.

Google has also cleared the fact that Google Chrome and Android are different projects though both are cross functional in many aspects .Android is another open source project on Google’s card which will be compatible across many hard ware’s for instance phones, notebooks, etc.

The major challenges that Google has to overpower are
Beating the penetration of windows OS and making niche for itself ,Microsoft XP and Windows7 would give stiff competition with their low cost and compatibility, Google has to build strong co-operations with other hardware providers to keep Google Chrome afloat.
