Watch Out Microsoft-New Google Chrome OS Is A Coming at Ya

Move out of the way Microsoft, the new Google Chrome Operating System is coming your way to take over! In the last nine months Google has seen a massive increase in its usage, with approximately 30 million regular users. Google Chrome was designed for people who are web savvy and labelled internet geeks, in other words people who spend most of their days on the internet searching for information, reading the headlines on major news websites, checking their email inbox, doing some online shopping or simply keeping in contact with close friends or family.

Now Google is launching an extension to Google Chrome and that is the Chrome Operating System, designed to be a complete re-invention of our existing operating systems. Where the average person is accustomed to the Microsoft operating system, the lightweight Google Chrome OS will be targeted for use on netbooks. This is expected to be made available for public use in the second half of 2010 next year. Google is already in talks with existing partners who will be working with the open source community so as to allow people to understand what they are trying to achieve.

What makes the new operating system different from Microsoft is its speed and lightweight connection to the web. Rather than waiting a few minutes to connect, users only have to wait a few seconds and the users experience takes place on the web. One of the biggest distinctions is that users will not have to deal with viruses, malware and security updates, as the underlying security architecture is redesigned to make it work as normal, without any hassle.

Chrome OS is not the same project as the Android and is an entirely separate project. The Android was created to work from a variety of devices including mobile phones and set top boxes as well as netbooks. Google Chrome OS is set up specifically for avid internet users and is designed for powering computers and netbooks. Having surveyed user opinions it was clear that people are always looking for computers that perform quickly and allow for access to their files wherever they may be. With the new features and revamped security architecture, people may shift their preferences to using the new operating system.

So where does this leave Microsoft? This big announcement will certainly have an effect on Microsoft however there is no telling just how much of an impact this will have. Whether Google will be successful in thwarting Microsoft from being the market leader, is anyone’s guess!
