An Operating System for the Cloud
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft's troubles make the company's OS doubly vulnerable. Vista, its
| current version, has been roundly criticized, and it has never caught on as
| widely as the company anticipated; many Microsoft customers continue to use
| the previous version of Windows, XP. A new version being released this fall,
| Windows 7, promises to remedy the worst problems of Vista. But even 7 may not
| address a set of technical issues that both galvanize Microsoft's critics and
| stoke the appetites of Brin and Page to create a more pleasing alternative.
| In their view, the Microsoft OS takes too long to boot up, and it slows down
| even the newest hardware. It is too prone to viral attacks and too
| complicated.

Server side Android, a Google version of Amazon's EC2
,----[ Quote ]
| While everyone contemplates the place that Android will hold on the mobile
| device, in home entertainment and on the netbook, there is another
| interesting use-case for Android that's not yet been talked about. There's no
| reason that Android, as a complete OS, application stack and ecosystem
| (including the app market), has to be run on the client side. In environments
| where multiple users might want to use the same client hardware (monitor,
| keyboard, mouse, etc), such as at the office, the thin-client model could be
| a very useful way to access any given user's Android session. This way, the
| Android session can be displayed at any end-point, be it a desktop, notebook,
| meeting-room projector, or even smartphone device. Using a VPN or even SSL
| protected web browser session from home, a user could also bring up their
| work Android session.

Google Chrome OS Could Be Pivotal in the Cloud Revolution
,----[ Quote ]
| Google Chrome OS is arriving just in time to take advantage of the perfect
| storm of cloud services, cheap hardware, and a new generation of
| platform-agnostic users. Unlike other Linux-based OSs, Chrome has brand
| recognition that even the biggest neophyte could get comfortable with.

Are these the first images of Google Chrome OS?
,----[ Quote ]
| An anonymous tipster sent the following images to us this morning, claiming
| they are actual images of Chrome OS. We can't say much for certain at this
| point, so pass judgment yourselves in the comments.

CHROME OS â First look?
,----[ Quote ]
| I wonder if Google will disguise their OS, put it on specs of their choosing
| and âtestâ members of the public? I wouldnât have thought so, Google has
| a âclean slateâ when it comes to OSâs.
|
| This could be the making of Google as an OS developer, but whatever it turns
| out to be, its another choice for users and that can only be a good thing.

[Wild Conjecture] Chrome OS as I imagine it
,----[ Quote ]
| Myself, I donât think Iâd use it either, Iâm too much in love with my KDE
| setup right now. But it was just technically stimulating to try to visualize
| how the PhDs in Google would strategize something like this.

The Android OS comes to the PC
,----[ Quote ]
| GOOGLE'S MOBILE PHONE operating system called Android has come to the PC in a
| LiveCD version.
|
| A couple of blokes have recompiled the OS so it's capable of running on a
| common x86 platform. This is just in time to see what Android is really like,
| before Acer, Asus, MSI and others officially release their netbooks with the
| operating system preloaded on them.
