Chrome OS: Google waves its arse at Windows
A Google operating system? Yep:
Somewhere in America, Steve Ballmer is chucking chairs and bellowing the C-word: Chrome.
Chrome is no longer just a browser: it’s a heat-seeking missile heading straight for Microsoft’s core business. If it’s good, it could transform the PC industry; even if it’s just Quite Good, it’s going to be bad news for Windows.
No matter how it pans it, it’s fantastic news for lawyers.
It won’t be the internet: it’ll be the Googlenet.
Does anybody think the EU and US competition watchdogs will be fine with that?

Not at first, maybe. But, if the platform gets popular, peopel will start building some decent video-editing apps and audio-recording apps and graphics apps for it. Even my Nokia N810 has multi-tracking and a couple of excellent synths, and it’s hardly a popular platform. Imagine how much more stuff would get built for Chrome if it takes off.
Probably never get the hardcore gamers, though, no.
