REVIEW: "PC World" today's online edition carried an article saying that Google's Chrome the operating system is destined to reshape the desktop operating system, but even this plan eventually failed to be successful, Google has achieved their real purpose: to promote Web-basedsoftware, to become the ultimate advertisers, take control of your digital life in almost every aspect, from the operating system you are using the Internet search and then work your way.This is Google's deliberate.Following is the text of the article:
Google said that it is designed for the Internet can significantly reduce operating system boot time, you can free from virus infection, for Web-based software designed to run.This operating system who do not like? Unless you are the number one software maker Microsoft.A war is inevitable.Google's Chrome operating system project will face an uphill battle.Ironically, Google Chrome the operating system may not care about winning or losing the final result.Here is the specific reason.
Google Chrome the operating system is truly amazing, even if we actually know very little about it, the announcement alone attracted the same computer and software industry attention.Industry and consumers will be encouraged by this.Google said, Qualcomm, Texas Instruments, Acer, HP and Adobe are collaborating to develop and build products using Chrome the operating system.Are collaborating to develop and build products using Chrome the operating system.
Google Chrome the operating system on the maximum bet is that this program will inspire a new software markets, such as Google Docs (Google Doc) so completely in a web browser to run the software.Google hopes that we can rely on these network services, will work documents, personal photos and music are stored in an always-on Internet.Want to get your photos or files? Very simple, just open your Internet on it.We do not need to be bulky plagued Windows PCs.Chrome the operating system of the future is slim, always-on portable computers and devices, you can call the "cloud" real-time access to data and software.
Strong boost Internet
Chrome the operating system to catch the rapid growth of the Internet boom.Market research firm DisplaySearch data show that, despite the notebook computer sales were flat, the Internet sales are increasing rapidly, and global sales this year alone to increase by 260%.
Although there is no news, but if next year, HP introduced a very low-cost Chrome the operating system loads the Internet, and then with Verizon Wireless's wireless Internet access contracts, we will not be surprised.Of course, the Internet manufacturers and wireless operators have launched a joint marketing activities.But Google will bring great advantages, because Chrome the operating system will be free, and the hardware needed to run the conditions may be very low, thus contributing to launch ultra low-cost companies such as Hewlett-Packard computers.
Google hopes to emulate Apple iPhone (mobile Internet) on the strategy adopted, by means of which propelled the Internet - to create a device matched with Chrome an operating system similar to iTunes App Store software resource center, to bring revolution in the wireless industryof change.Google said, the Internet, the next stop is the desktop computer.
But Google's Chrome the operating system will be launched end of 2010, this time many changes may occur.
Facing many challenges
First of all, Google will face competition from another operating system Linux.Although the field of Linux PCs in the consumer failed to replace Windows, but Linux camp will launch a supported operating system, Intel's Moblin, is also about to use the Internet.(There is no announced release date or partner.) Dell said, compared with Chrome the operating system, the more inclined to Moblin.
Google's Chrome the operating system will also face another challenge from the consumer.Consumers will want a minimalist entirely on the Internet network software? If you take a plane, or in the dentist to accept less than the wireless network signal, then how to do? Privacy issues are also a major challenge Google.We want companies to understand the extent to which our network and other computing habits?
Then there's Google rival Microsoft.Estimated for later this year Microsoft will launch Google ad attack Chrome the operating system may set off the value of desktop software support for the campaign.Microsoft Windows 7 may be the timing of the introduction of all-out offensive was launched, this new software will certainly applies to the Internet and desktop two main areas.In order to defend the Windows software empire, Microsoft will not be stalled.The company will give full play to its supreme position in the industry, put the hardware manufacturers and software developers to reconsider the decision to defect to Chrome the operating system.
Finally, Microsoft will introduce its own Web services.Microsoft this month announced it will offer consumers the popular free online version of Office software.Office software, network components in the details, Microsoft is mum, saying only that the specific launch time will be better than Google Chrome the operating system several months in advance.
The real purpose of Google
Google's real ambition is actually to form a new operating system, and not so much, but more of a wish to continue to irritate Microsoft.Chrome by commitment to provide the operating system, Google is coming to Microsoft provoke a war, hoping eventually to go beyond the network software desktop software.With Chrome Google is also the threat posed by the operating system, attracting countless software developers to create serious and not browser-based Windows operating system network services.
Google in the Internet think that it can subvert Microsoft's throne in this field? A good idea, but if Google moves right, the problem is not important.Even if Google Chrome the operating system finally abandoned, the company has succeeded in forcing Microsoft and other parts of the industry has taken towards the cloud services a significant pace.By that time, whether we are through the Windows personal computer, Apple's MacBook Chrome the operating system or through the Internet into the Google Chrome Web software store, Google are the same will be satisfied.
We need to ask ourselves is, this plan What is the significance of Google? Google Chrome the operating system is really trying to make the world a better place? Maybe, but in the end Google is to sell software.Google Chrome an operating system, making it the ultimate advertiser, your digital life with almost every aspect, from the operating system you are using the Internet search and then work your way.
If Microsoft, Apple and other competitors tried to launch their own innovative web-based services to burst Chrome the operating system, do not think Google would be angry displeasure.Google crocodile tears may flow, but in Chrome the operating system while spreading the obituary, Google auction ads (Google Ad Words) may sell the latest in network software.
