Google Slaps Microsoft’s Face with Chrome Laced Glove – It’s on like Donkey Kong – Let’s Duel!

Alright I thought I’d jump in on this hot topic: Google Chrome becomes Google Chrome OS.

If Microsoft weren’t afraid of Google before, I’m sure they are beginning to take notice now.

The biggest difference between Windows and the Chrome OS that I get being an ‘intermediate’ geek is that Windows runs internally on the hardware of the computer. The processes are more intensive requiring lots of of ram, etc.

Google’s vision of the operating system is to just boot up the computer, launch the browser, and do all computing over the web.

This is extremely intriguing and they are just on key for where we are as a nation and world technologically speaking.

Moving to a internet based OS will not only be an interesting concept – but may help speed up the spread of highspeed networks in America and other nations.

Having your applications all web-based makes it easy for programmers who can stick to languages they already know, and won’t need to reformat their products for different platforms.

Will Google Chrome OS Kill Microsoft? I seriously doubt it – even if Bill Gates has to come out of retirement to rescue the company from Steve (no)Ballmer.

While Chrome OS might not kill Microsoft it might help bring down the costs of Microsoft products, and it may hit Microsoft in the pocketbook somewhat.

The verdict is out though – anything is possible. We could look back in ten years and ask ourselves WTH happened to _____insert company___.

Nobody can know for sure if Google or Microsoft will still be around in 10 years or who will lead in the search or operating system fields.

Heck for all we know – in 2011 Bing will overtake Google for Search while Google Chrome overtakes Windows for Operating Systems.

That would actually be quite funny lol.

What do you say? Are you excited to see the Chrome OS?

    Great post, thanks for sharing. I just wish that more people would really share. I'll be back shortly to read and learn more. Microsoft should be scared, but not that scared, 88% of the market is windows based.
