Google has been world leaders in Web technologies and mainly Web Search. I use google day in and day out to find information or even find websites whose URL are familiar to me. But I would prefer typing as little as possible and then clicking links to my destination webpage. Slowly it advanced into Social Networking sites and now it is making its way into Operating Systems.
I came across this news on the official Google blog today. I was surprised to learn this. Blog says that Google Chrome was success but some other online material say that it did not succeed as expected. Now who would keep low expectations when Google launches anything.
Similarly, my expectations from Google Chrome OS are high. It will be an open source OS and I am looking forward to it.
But what amazes me is Google's offensive strategy. It might not be the case but it seems that this OS is an answer to Microsoft's Bing. If Microsoft can try and compete with Google in what Google is supposedly at their best, even Google can compete with Microsoft in their core areas i.e. OS. With more competition, I think users are going to profit because now neither Microdoft nor Google can relax with the services that they are offering and have to be on the tip of their toe in bringing up new technologies. Eventually, I see users getting benefited from this healthy rivalry.
I hope we have more strong contenders in coming years.
