Google’s new OS
On the heels of Google’s announcement of “a new project that’s a natural extension of Google Chrome — the Google Chrome Operating System,” Jason Kottke writes:
OS X might be the last important traditional desktop operating system, if only because it runs on desktops, laptops, the iPhone, and the inevitable Apple netbook/tablet thingie. But even OS X (and Windows and Google Chrome OS and Gnome and etc.) will lose marketshare to the WebOS…as long as users can run Firefox, Safari, or Chrome on whatever hardware they own, no one cares what flavor of Unix or tricked-out DOS that browser runs on.
Kottke has been anticipating this for years, and has some great things to say on it.
