Googles Chrome Operating System explained
Written by: Justin Parks | December 1, 2009
So you use Google all day everyday and you might even use Google Chrome, their browser they launched last year ( if you don’t, don’t panic its not essential) and if your moving in tech circles you might even have heard whispers about Chrome OS, Googles operating system for your computer. Again, if you haven’t, don’t panic, its not essential!
Most of us will have fallen into the second category and right now are sitting wondering what this Chrome OS thing is and what I’m on about, well, instead of making it even more complicated, why not watch this handy video to see what I mean and all will be revealed.

So can I run dreamweaver in chrome OS? How about photoshop? FileZilla FTP? What about Command and Conquer?
No?
Well that makes it useless to me which makes it crap.

Absolutely (at least for now). Its definitely aimed at having a laptop or machine that wont need this high end software though but more at the everyday user. With on line docs, excel spread sheets and mail all available via a browser the requirement for a hefty OS is declining for a large proportion of users but it wont suit everyone!

Google would have us believe we'll all be in the cloud in a few years. That makes my business reliant on an Internet Provider… not exactly the way real business works. Microsoft I think has the right strategy where it is like the cloud is a secondary point to store data access applications when on the go. I think they knoiw big business will never do the cloud entirely for the same reason they don't do open source… much.
