Google Announces New Operating System
Search engine leader Google says it is set to change the way computer operating systems work.
This week Google announced its new Chrome OS will take on the rulers of the Operating Systems–Microsoft’s Windows and Mac’s OS X.
This Google video gives an excellent explanation of how Google Chrome will run all of your computer programs on the Internet rather than your computer.
The new operating system will look radically different from the operation systems we have a come to love and sometimes hate.
Google Chrome will turn personal computing upside down.
When graphical interface browsers such as Mosaic were first introduced in the 1990’s they were, and still are today, installed as software programs on top of an operating system.
Google’s Chrome browser, however, will run as the computer’s operating operating system rather than running on the operating system.
Google engineers say the most used software on any computer today is the Internet Browser whether it is Microsoft’s Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari and more.
Google claims that the browser is the first and most important software we use. The Google guys say most of us spend 90 percent of our time on a computer on the Internet reading email, watching videos, shopping online, chatting, reading news, etc.
You will most likely see the first versions of Chrome OS installed on netbooks fairly soon.
