Today Google announced a new war against Microsoft by announcing Chrome OS.
“We are going back to the basics and completely redesigning the underlying security architecture of the OS so that users don’t have to deal with viruses, malware and security updates. It should just work,” said Pichai. This will be a fantastic world. We used to ask a question in our web 2.o start-up: why there is no IOS (Internet Operating System) and this looks like an answer to that.
As it did with Android, Google is opening to the open source community to make Chrome a success. Later this year the firm will open source the code base, and netbooks running Google Chrome OS will be available for consumers in the second half of 2010. Let us hope that the monopoly of Microsoft is going to be challenged!!
