Google Chrome was designed for people who basically live on the internet. It is optimized for supreme web performance. As it advertises: http://www.google.com/chrome Fast start-up, Fast loading, Fast search. It is completely free to use and has caught the attention of many people, with it becoming their favorite browser. But what is that news of an operating system based off of Google Chrome?
Google has decided to create an operating system with the same goals in mind as Chrome had – optimal web performance. The OS, like the browser, is being designed for people who live on the web. Google explains in their Official Google Blog that the operating systems that run these browsers, whatever they may be, are on operating systems that were not designed for the internet. As a direct result of this, it causes the browsers to act sluggish at times and are bogged down by systems that have too much going on already.
And so, we get their new OS.
Google’s intention is to aim their new OS at netbooks. It is going to be a lightweight operating system and would function perfectly on these tiny laptops. With the popularity of the netbook coming to light, surely people will be interested in an operating system that light just like the netbook.
What about compatibility with the programs you need? Of course! Google fully intends to make their new OS compatible with anything you may need to use on your computer. What’s the point in having an OS that can’t run anything that people already use?
It sounds like Google has a good idea of what they need to do next. They are already the top in search, and keeping people interested in their browser, so why not strive for the top in operating systems as well?
Bring on the OS!
