Technoholik: “Amazon’s ebook reader,a real fun”

Google finally took the covers off ChromeOS. And guess what? As this blog predicted a couple of months ago when Chrome OS was announced, this ain’t a Windows killer. No sir, not in its early stages. I don’t know how the situation will unfold ten years down the line, but next year when ChromeOS begins to appear in computers, it will hardly be a challenge to the mighty Microsoft.


For now, ‘underwhelming’ is what best describes ChromeOS. Again, I am probably a little too harsh on something that is still in the works and will start to reach consumers only after a year. But from what I have seen so far, the future doesn’t look too bright for it. But before we move to the actual OS, what it can do and philosophy behind it, let’s see what Chrome can’t do:


1- ChromeOS is a not a traditional OS in the sense Windows, OS X or Ubuntu are. When it appears next year, it will come pre-installed in certain netbooks and in all likelihood will not be available for download the way Linux distros are. In other words, ChromeOS will be tied to hardware because it will require specific hardware like a flash drive to run. It’s more similar to mobile OSes like Symbian that comes with Nokia phones or Google’s own Android that is installed on selective phones.

 

Thanks!
