The Google Chrome OS announcement was greeted with plenty of interest by bloggers and mainstream media alike. The opinions vary, of course. The New York Times has a summary of the technology opinionators’ thoughts here.
The most interesting opinion — from all I’ve read so far — is that of John Gruber at Daring Fireball.He says that the Chrome OS sounds more like Palm’s new Web OS — a collection of HTML, CSS and Javascript with lots of APIs to access native applications.
From a software development perspective, this won’t be a very appetizing option, given that using AJAX etc. is painful enough already.
PS: Cringely has an excellent summary in the New York Times. About Google v Microsoft, he says -
…these companies will posture, spend a little money on research and development, and keep each other in check, while reporters and publications pretend that it matters.
