Google is stirring things up with their new operating system. It isn’t likely that Google is going to take down Microsoft or Apple. This operating system isn’t a replacement… more of a supplement. It’s the perfect OS for those secondary netbook computers that are so perfect for travel and surfing the web. However, Google’s introduction of Chrome OS will most certainly affect Microsoft and Apple. They’ll respond with additional innovation of their systems. The result, we the consumers have more options and a better experience. Great job Google!

Google to launch operating system

Yeah, you head that right. It’s been rumored for years but now it’s going to be a reality.

To avoid the monopolistic mistakes Microsoft made in the past, Google is developing the platform for web apps that will work in Google Chrome as well as any other standards-based browser. It’s funny how although we didn’t know this was coming, you can now see events taking place to lead to this. Many of Google’s main applications have all be coming out of beta this last year and with the development of Google Gears, you can use many of your favorite Google Web Applications offline as well as online.
Some see Google as evil with a secret agenda. I’m not sure how I feel about the evil part, but I really love how they’re pushing society and technology to new places. Go Google!
