Time of year, Google has released to the industry on a heavyweight News (Google’s every move is an eye-catching), which is published in its browser, to be released next year, the PC-based Chrome browser, operating system, -Chrome OS. A time when end of the year, recently there has been news that Google’s operating system, this will be released within the next week, no doubt for the industry is also a blockbuster. Apart from this writer was surprised, for early release Cikuan Google operating system, there are still some confusion.
The biggest confusion is that Google is really ready for this operating system, it? The first is of general interest in the industry and users of software and hardware compatibility issues. Although the Internet long before the stream has Chrome OS screenshots, but after all, just screenshots, and user experience is really useful and totally different things. Look at the information from the public to see, Chrome OS is based on the Linux core should be established, while in the PC used in other kernel-based Linux systems, both in development time and application than Chrome OS to be much longer, but until Today, the industry can not be talking about Linux delays have an impact in the PC market share when the share of power, its hardware and software compatibility is still the biggest Achilles heel. Is Google in such a short period of time (or even earlier than expected) had to solve it? As a Microsoft PC operating system vendors to focus on. Shangju because of compatibility problems led to the Vista operating system, lost generation, so Windows7 R & D among the hardware and software compatibility as a top priority, throwing a lot of manpower and financial resources have today is different from the very different from the previous generation of the market to reflect Vista. I stated here is just a successful operating system, how much more difficult. Good at or that it is used Microsoft-based business like this, Google will be easy to do?
The second confusion is not only based on the above Linux kernel, according to Google, said before, the operating system, or prior to its release of Chrome-based browser, network operating system. I as an ordinary PC users do not want to dwell on this concept, just do not understand is that, Chrome OS What is the use of means? Is already pre-pre-installed on the PC do? Or should I say from the network, downloaded to a local PC to install to use? Or a network of online use? Judging from the recent rumors of view, will be released ahead of Chrome OS will be available for download, it is very likely to use a pattern is a free download and then install to the PC. That attendant problem is to download and install, users have their own PC to download and install the operating system and post-Google’s Chrome OS what kind of relationship? Yes you can uninstall the previous operating system do? Users can start, or you can choose to use the operating system? If Google allows users to shirk in the previous operating system, then the user before the PC’s hardware and software can be Chrome OS to run smoothly on the whole do? This is undoubtedly back to the previous compatibility issues.
The author would like to make here is that as long as the Chrome OS can not do so (at least before the user PC operating system compared to already), then the user and then install a separate operating system are the reasons? After all, unlike the operating system the browser (in fact, before the browser Google Chrome there are also some sites are not compatible with the phenomenon), if there is compatibility issues which will directly affect the user experience. Besides, who is also not clear if the load Google’s operating system, will impact on the existing system. If so, I am afraid that the user selects Chrome OS on a question of not just superfluous. In addition, if Google do not have to decide if the operating system, can successfully uninstall it? In short the above confusion, Google is not to be 11 official clarification and explanation. The market and users for Google’s operating system is still puzzled.
The third confusion is that if the industry and users know, a PC operating system shipments, and customers will be the largest and most concise way to purchase PC,, PC manufacturers pre-installed. But until today, I have not seen what the mainstream PC makers have decided to start larger-scale pre-installed so-called Google Chrome OS reports. Is it to promote their bones the way the operating system as I analyzed above, a network of free free download do? If so, is the writer above said, many of the doubts waiting for Google to go to the market and users precise answer. In this way if you want users to use Google’s operating system is irresponsible for the user, Google has faced its own huge market risks.
Compared with these confused, some are very clear and is a fait accompli. That is Google’s biggest rival Microsoft’s newly released Win7′s hot, and Bing-than-expected share of search engine growth. Perhaps this is the Google operating system, released in advance, or more precisely the underlying causes of the message sent in advance. Do not know whether this news will be confirmed by Google practical action, or denied. But in any case, this news for Google is a marketing strategy for victory, it could be people’s eyes and attention from Microsoft’s body temporarily transferred to their own side (the Internet company is very good at public relations), as originally published Google wanted to do the same as the operating system is just reminds people of its Chrome browser, released prior to the memory of the same.
