Chrome OS Announced

[ninja9578]

This is not much of a surprise to those of us in the tech field. We've suspected that Google was working on an Operating system for quite some time. They officially announced it yesterday. http://tech.yahoo.com/news/ap/200907...erating_system With Apple's popularity growing at an exponential rate, IBM and Dell's option of Ubuntu, Windows piss-poor performance, this may be the final nail in the coffin for Microsoft Windows. I predict Windows 7 to be the second to final Microsoft Windows version. They will release one more in the desperate attempt to stay in the OS business, then focus on other products. Chrome OS is looking to be a web-based OS like a mobile OS. It's target market is netbooks, but will most likely branch out very soon after the first wave of netbooks hit the market. Linux's big problem is that is has no advertising and has a track-record of being difficult to use and for nerds only. Google's name alone I think, will be enough to get people to embrace it, but seeing as Google also happens to the most hit site on the web, they can advertise with ease. It seems to be Android based, which will make converting current apps and writing new ones very easy.
