Google Chrome OS
So I’ve had the weekend to play with the new Google Chrome OS (thanks to the virtual disk provided by GDGT). My opinion – it will be an excellent OS for a secondary computer or someone in a well connected city. Watch the following video for a quick overview of the idea behind Chrome OS.
So what you see is that this OS will be good for people who are pretty much based on the internet. It’s only been out for a week and it won’t be officially released for a year – and as you’ve noticed, more and more is becoming internet (or “Cloud”) based so this makes pretty good sense.
Maybe next year all you’ll need is a browser … in which case all you’ll need is Chrome OS. Google has posted a few other case uses for Chrome OS and Lifehacker has some interesting commentary about other people’s experience.
Even if it isn’t for you – it certainly does seem like an interesting take on where computers are heading these days.
