Yesterday, Google announced that they would be launching a new open source operating system called Google Chrome OS. This is big news as they turn up the heat to compete against the currently monopolizing OS which is Microsoft Windows.
According to Google, “Speed, simplicity and security are the key aspects of Google Chrome OS.” Isn’t that what we’re all looking for in an operating system? I like the fact that Google decided to step up to the plate, and offer the public a new alternative to the OS in our PCs. I’ve been using Windows Vista at home and at work for about 6 months, and I must say I haven’t been impressed. I’ve had issues with hardware imcompatibilities and occasional freezes.
Google Chrome OS is scheduled to be released mid-2010. So, we’ll see.
