Google For Your PC

by: Moye Ishimoto on 7.8.2009 at 11:00 am

Google's announcement for developing a Chrome OS for your PC means they're taking on the big, evil Microsoft giant. Kevin Pereira talks to Miguel Helft from the New York Times to figure what how this move can affect your PC and what this means for the tech industry.

I'm thinking that the OS is going to be something that takes like 5 seconds to boot that Ill dual boot (or triple boot, Vista and W7 here) to go online or something, effectively turning part of my gaming PC which takes a few minutes to fully boot into a netbook of sorts. idk, Im with Kevin on this one. I love the browser and google makes simple quality stuff, and if it's free, Ill download it. I hope they'll keep the speed priority from the browser.

Who knows, if they keep it fast, it prolly won't have many background programs running (looking at YOU, vista with your Aero) so it will be pretty zippy. maybe good for a quick check of the auctions on WoW.
