Title: Google Chrome OS
Post by: urbanlibertarian on July 11, 2009, 05:21:30 PM
From Information Week:
"With Chrome OS, Google aims to make the Web the primary platform for software development."

"Google (NSDQ: GOOG)'s plan to release its own operating system based on its Chrome browser is at once audacious and laughable. Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT) Windows represents slightly less than 90% of the personal computer operating system market, a position it has held for years."

"Yet, the fact that Google has partners that share its vision says something about the shakiness of Microsoft's position. Acer, Adobe, ASUS, Freescale, Hewlett-Packard, Lenovo, Qualcomm, Texas Instruments, and Toshiba are all working with Google to help it re-imagine the operating system. So too is Intel, as The Register reports."

Man, that is a LOT of corporate support.  I'm curious to see what they come up with.

Google plans to take over the world.  :D  I prefer Firefox for now but I do love to Google no doubt.
