What Chrome OS has on Windows that Linux doesnât

,----[ Quote ]
| Chrome OS faces the same applications 
| challenge as any other operating system, but 
| itâs rising to that challenge in a different 
| way. It includes the Chrome browser running 
| on a stripped-down version of Linux, but the 
| applications wonât run on Linux, theyâll run 
| on the Internet. Chrome is the conduit to the 
| Web applications, and Chrome OS is the 
| vehicle by which Google will get the browser 
| installed on Netbooks starting in the second 
| half of 2010, the company promises.

Chromium OS will Kick Windows to Curb 'Cause Netbooks Don't Suck

,----[ Quote ]
| Netbook sales numbers speak for
| themselves, up 264 percent, year over
| year. According to DisplaySearch, that was
| $2.2 billion in the second quarter of 2009
| alone. Itâs the only category of portable
| PC that increased sales and represented
| 11.7 percent of all portable PC sales. Iâd
| argue that the number is also deceptive
| because netbooks cost, what, at most half
| of a notebook or laptop? So the unit
| volume has to be hitting something closer
| to 25 percent of all portable PC sales.

Combining Chrome OS With Android Looks Like Google's Endgame

,----[ Quote ]
| Now that Google has unveiled Chrome OS, it
| has to make sure it doubles down on
| Chrome's exposure.
|
| With Chrome OS a potentially disruptive
| operating system in a market long-dominated
| by Google arch rival Microsoft, the
| backlash against Chrome will be quick and
| unrelenting if Google doesn't have a solid
| long-term plan in place. Several Microsoft
| partners are already on record as saying
| Chrome OS is "all talk."
