googlechrome11Just an hour ago I wrote about Google Chrome OS, but right after I published the post. I came across another post in which there were some questions regarding Google Chrome OS. There were 11 questions but I just selected some of them.

Google hasn’t revealed much in the way of specifics, but one thing is quite clear that OS is an open-source project based on its Chrome browser with a Linux kernel, and that it’s working with multiple hardware manufacturers to bring it to x86- and ARM-based netbooks in the second half of next year.

The first one I noted down was..

Why Chrome? Why not Android? Google Chrome OS is an extension of the company’s browser, not its mobile OS. Google is, making the browser an autonomous environment that renders OSes like Windows and Android superfluous. That is a way more powerful idea than putting a phone OS on a little notebook computer.

Second question is that

Google Chrome OS’s Security issues? Google has a shot at writing an OS that’s less likely to be rife with holes than Windows. I’m not sure if the fact that the company doesn’t bring up security as an issue in the blog post means anything.

Another important thing to notice is

Windows or Google Chrome OS? As it is crystal clear that Windows is the world’s most familiar operating system, with the largest library of apps and broadest hardware support. Google’s blog post sets the bar high in terms of ambition for what it’s trying to bring to consumers. It’ll have to deliver in spades to make Chrome OS netbooks truly appealing alternatives to Windows systems in the real world.

Google Chrome OS is there; but why no Chrome for OS X? The Chrome browser is impressive, but the company hasn’t even managed to get it onto OS X yet. When Google products are new, it’s often hard to tell whether the company sees them as core to its future or as quirky experiments.

Chrome OS versus Microsoft? If Chrome OS turns out to be one of the most massive hits that the tech world has ever seen, it’s not going to crush Windows anytime soon. Microsoft is intrigued but not alarmed by tonight’s news, and that it’s been expecting something along these lines.

There are some other things to notice are that What’s will deal with hardware? What’s the deal with software? What’s the UI going to be like?
