Google, one of the world’s leading search engines, has been airing out plans about releasing its own personal operating system for computers. The issue flared up yet another expected conflict between the web search magnate and the world’s leading OS provider, Microsoft.
The new operating system would be based on its Chrome browser and would be an open source OS. The new OS is an attempt to re-think what operating systems should be. The company would open source “Chrome OS” for user input and netbooks running the system would be available by next year.
Chrome OS is designed to work fast yet simple. It is set to start up and get users connected to the rest of the world in just a matter of seconds. Just that, no fuss! The new OS is initially set to dominate netbook OS market. Netbooks, which are expected to perform fast and reliably, aside from their being highly portable are supposed to be easy preys to this new system which promises uses of reliable, fast, and heavily efficient performance
Advertisements has been released for Chrome OS to address the fact that the browser has only held a parcel of the market dominated by Microsoft’s default, Internet Explorer. Microsoft’s search engine Bing, as a hit back scheme by Microsoft, aimed to bite a part at Google’s huge revenue in the web search trade.
Bing had drained an 8.23 percent share of the US search market in June from earlier search engines including Google and Yahoo, 7.21 percent in April and 7.81 percent in May. However, Google continues to rule the web search market garnering 78.48 percent share for June.
Google already has created an operating system called android, but it is a different entity from Chrome OS even though some features are almost identical.
Android is only used for mobile phones at the moment, but it has exhibited a hint of Google’s increasing interest in extending beyond its search engine dominance. Google Chrome OS will be for people who spend time surfing the net, and is designed to operate computers ranging from small netbooks to full-size desktop systems.
Google looks at moving in the mobile industry, a move to gain in the highly competitive smartphone market. With new smartphone models and more portable devices showing up, competition i expected to flare up, and with Google's Chrome OS, the search engine leade is confident to be among the leading competitors.
