Hi everyone present. Greetings to my fellow Argentines celebrate their day tomorrow.
Friends. I want all of us think for a time. Tell me what services Google offers us today.
There are many more, but we know Google Scholar, Google Alerts, Google Toolbar, Google Blog Search, Google Book search, Google Chrome, Google Desktop, Google Directory, Google Web Search, Google Chrome, Google Earth, Google Images, Blogger , Google Calendar, Google Docs, Gmail, Google Groups, Orkut, Picasa, Google Reader, Google SketchUp, Google Android, Google Talk and Google's translator. All these services are intended to facilitate our work with the web, or work with the data we have (with the exception of SketchUp).
What's missing from Google? Although many do not bother us, Google is seriously starting to dominate the world. However, Google still was missing a step, to say that right was on its way toward meeting this goal:
An operating system.
And that is precisely the step taken (or are given). Google Chrome OS would become the newest of Google, an open source operating system based on Linux, originally aimed at netbooks, but would also serve to any desktop.
Ok. But ... What's interesting? I mean, most Linux distros by default bring a customized Google search engine the browser. One is available with the package managers thousand Google services and utilities (I suggest you test the GDesklets, are the repositories of Debian, Ubuntu and Mint). What else can we offer a Google OS, that makes us think it is not just another Linux distro like any other?
Well, besides the fact that the tools will default this company, we have the premise that they want it on the market, with an announcement that it's official.
"We heard a lot of our users, and their message is clear: Computers need to improve. People want to watch your e-mail instantly, without wasting time waiting for the computer starts and the browser is started. They want their computers run as fast as the first time they bought it. They want to make information accessible and not worry about losing your computer or forget to do backups. Even more important, they do not want to spend hours configuring their computers to work with all new pieces of hardware, or worrying about ongoing software updates. "
is a great goal. Do you expect to have an operating system initiate and carry your GUI very quickly, and work with ARM processor or i686 (unlike, for example, Moblin, that does not work well with AMD processors)? I think so. Or at least comes close.
Bueeeeno, but ... Imagine how it would benefit us. In case you do not want to use this OS. What I see is going to happen:
- Google Chrome will be a major boost in development for Linux. This means that we can finally see a stable version of GC for this system soon.
- Google services will be much more prepared to integrate into the operating system. That means, for example, will hand over useful Applications are available to get and install.
- DRIVERS. A very important point. If Google comes to the proposed target would mean that the drivers for the Linux operating system would be easier to access and porting to other platforms, which with Windows drivers is not the case. So, I have a webcam, plug it in and the driver makes Google my distro and walk away. What does that sound?
Is it utopian? Do not think it is both. And the idea of \u200b\u200ban operating system dedicated to web-applications is not new. Does anyone Cloud sounds?
Sumémosle this to the fact that the PC-including laptops, come with powerful graphics, high doses of RAM and hard drive, and ports of games we already have, Unreal Tournament and Quake are the ones I'm seeing at the moment, I can start to hope that maybe one day within the next 15 years we see Microsoft in a dominant position is not creating art software for an operating system other than Windows, and where open source software is what most use.
Soñar no cuesta nada.
