| Google recently announced plans for a new PC operating system, the Chrome OS.
| Within minutes, the media reported an OS war and began telling us who loses
| and who wins. The Chrome OS will smash Windows! Or else Chrome is actually
| good for Microsoft and (despite running on a Linux kernel) threatens Linux!
| Who knows? We might actually have to wait until the new OS comes out, which
| Google says won’t happen for another year.

Researcher: Chrome to boost Atom to ARM switch in netbooks
,----[ Quote ]
| LONDON — Technology changes, including the introudction of the Chrome
| OS, will undermine Atom's grip on the netbook market during a
| recessionary time when people don't want, and can't afford, a second
| laptop just to carry around say market researchers, The Information Network.
|
| While Intel's Atom holds more than an 80 percent share of the
| 23.5-million netbooks sold in 2009 the ARM processor will to gain a 55
| percent market share of the 96.0 million netbooks sold in 2012,
| according to researchers.
|
| "We see two technology factors converging with the poor macroeconomic
| situation that will create a market for ARM - the release of the
| Cortex-9 microarchitecture and the emergence of cloud computing," said
| Dr. Robert Castellano, president of The Information Network (New
| Tripoli, PA). "Chrome OS is the first operating system built with cloud
| computing in mind."
