Google Chrome OS Announced: Animal, Vegetable or Mineral? Will Anyone Care by Late 2010?
I’m trying digest this announcement like a lot of other people…
Introducing the Google Chrome OS
So, let’s look at the basic points in the announcement and try to get a handle on this Google Chrome OS…
– It is Open Source
– It will initially target netbooks
– It will be available in the second half of 2010
– It will run on (Intel) x86 and ARM processors
– It is based on the Linux kernel but will have its own windowing system (instead of Gnome, KDE or something else)
– Its apps will be web-based and run in any browser
– It is NOT Google Android
Here’s my impression just based on the facts Google presented…
Why does anyone need it? Why would someone want it? These are very basic questions I think Google hasn’t addressed in this announcement.
