Chrome OS

Posted by samir

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.
