Google's Chrome OS: Riding The Cloud
Rider Research, Dec 2010, Pages: 27
Google has positioned its Chrome Operating System, launched last month, as THE operating system for a coming avalanche of netbook-like cloudbooks and other devices. It could substantially cut into the market for portable PCs and tablets.
Chrome OS devices will have a full keyboard, unlike tablets, and be used for cloud-based computing and storage.
But who needs Chrome OS and why should a new netbook buyer make the transition? And how exactly does Google intend to make Windows and Apple OSX-based machines relics of the past?
That's what readers will find out in this new report: 'Google's Chrome OS: Riding The Cloud'.
Android was slow to take off but is now a dominant player in the smartphone market. Chrome OS could do the same in laptops and netbooks.
