“Google is developing an operating system (OS) for personal computers, in a direct challenge to market leader Microsoft and its Windows system.
BBC news – Google to launch operating system (8th July 2009)
I’m not entirely sure that this is a direct challenge to Windows 7 – but I do think that in the beginning, it will be a great OS for netbooks etc. I don’t see this being a replacement for my main OS any time soon; I will install it though, but I would imagine that would be for internet browsing and testing purposes only.
Two things that I can definitely be sure of is that a) it will be lightning fast, b) it will be more secure than the queen’s bedroom.
