Google Chrome Operating System

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009

As if  Google hadn’t terrorized Miscrosoft enough, on 7th July Google announced that it would be launching an OS. I have always believed that web based operating systems are going to be the future and Google’s new OS is, loosely speaking, a web based OS.

What it means is that it takes away the burden from your processor and transfers it to the processors of the websites you are going to be using.This will be done by the means 0f your internet connection.  I dont expect it to be a fullon OS like Windows or Mac. I think its rather a going to provide a framework that’ll enhance our web experience.

What we need is better support for existing technologies to develop more kick ass web apps. We have already stretched AJAX, HTML and other web based technologies. Hopefully Google’s OS will help in imporving the potentials of these technologies.
