We already have one and it is called Windows. Then there is Apple OS but it only comes with Apple hardware The Linux thingy has so many variations that your head will start spinning if you try to learn each of them.
Today’s bombshell is Google’s announcement of launching an operating system called Chromoe? What? Chrome was the browser that Google launced a year and half ago. Now they want to launch an OS with the name.
Google did an informal sutvey on the street of Manhattan about Chrome browesr and it is rally hilarious. People don’t have any idea what the heck is a browser, let alone what is Chrome broser. And now if you think they will understand what is this Chrome OS is?
“Can it run my favorite program?”, that is the question people will be asking when the Best Buy associate tells them that the tiny-sized screen laptop, called netbook, has Chrome operating system.
Hey, that tiny thingy cannot run any thing fast why do you expect to run your favorite application anyway.
Now, will the price of a laptop drop because of this chromy thingy? I think no. MS is already heavily discounting for OEM partners based on their volumes.
But, it is going to be open source. Pooh!. I don’t want to mess with my OS. I want it to work and work when I need it. I don’t want to search the net for hours to find simple solutions to my problem.
My verdict? Chrome will occupy a small niche among all the Linux variations that are there today.
