Maybe they just see it that they've got a lot more resources to really hit Microsoft where it hurts. It could be massive in a few years anyway if they make it properly.
They should make it a open source OS like ubuntu and offer for free distribution ,Chrome is a very light weight and excellent browser hope they make a interface like that
Google Chrome OS is an open source, lightweight operating system that will initially be targeted at netbooks. The OS will be designed to be fast and lightweight, to start up and get you onto the web in a few seconds. The user interface is minimal to stay out of your way, and most of the user experience takes place on the web. But to tell u the truth I didn't see too much differences here!
no question ! sure they will this is the best way to get user behavior and profiles- much more effective then facebook profile
I am waiting for the day, it's about time Microsoft's monopoly gets tested, I also want Microsoft and Yahoo to challenge Google too on the search engine, it makes it good for all of us
So, as Google announced, "While competitors are targeting the individual applications Google has deployed, Google is building a massive, general purpose computing platform for web-scale programming." Get more info and analysis here http://www.kottke.org/04/04/google-operating-system
