Google Chrome OS Coming to Eat Your Windows Next Year

Your day of reckoning is here, Microsoft!

Google has announced the Google Chrome OS. It had to happen, first it was the Chrome browser to take on Internet Explorer, then the Android OS to take on Windows Mobile, just what does Google have against Microsoft anyways.

This is a heads-up Hong Kong, by the second half of 2010 expect alot of your favorite manufacturers to start switching over to the Google OS for certain types of PC’s – netbooks, laptops AND desktops! This is a real turning point for the future of personal computing, while there are many corporations that are tied to Microsoft, over the next few years you will see a big change in the way you buy a personal computer. For better or worse, Google is hopefully going to weld the power that Microsoft has held for the past 30 years much better and help the general public instead of stiffling them with ill-developed products and us buying them because there was no PC alternative.

Google Chrome OS will run on both x86 as well as ARM chips and we are working with multiple OEMs to bring a number of netbooks to market next year. The software architecture is simple — Google Chrome running within a new windowing system on top of a Linux kernel. For application developers, the web is the platform. All web-based applications will automatically work and new applications can be written using your favorite web technologies. And of course, these apps will run not only on Google Chrome OS, but on any standards-based browser on Windows, Mac and Linux thereby giving developers the largest user base of any platform.

And how does this affect the mobile phone OS Android?

Google Chrome OS is a new project, separate from Android. Android was designed from the beginning to work across a variety of devices from phones to set-top boxes to netbooks. Google Chrome OS is being created for people who spend most of their time on the web, and is being designed to power computers ranging from small netbooks to full-size desktop systems. While there are areas where Google Chrome OS and Android overlap, we believe choice will drive innovation for the benefit of everyone, including Google.

Yes, its the day of Michael Jackson’s memorial, but yesterday will also go down in history as the day the walls of Microsoft’s PC supremacy begin to fall down.

Too dramatic? We think its OK, this one time.
