Comments on: TNR Podcast Daily Bit 25 – Google Chrome OS! The long version! http://technestreport.com/blog/2009/07/08/tnrp-db-25/ We cover, review and analyze the tech industry from head to toe Tue, 22 May 2012 01:33:08 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: Alex Luft http://technestreport.com/blog/2009/07/08/tnrp-db-25/comment-page-1/#comment-1433 Alex Luft Thu, 19 Nov 2009 22:56:07 +0000 http://technestreport.com/blog/?p=1656#comment-1433 The fact that it's Google behind it is what's "new." To me, that's exciting for several reasons: 1) There is a new OS on the block 2) It's free and will have a different revenue model behind it (like Android) 3) It's Linux-based - like you said (like Android) which means that after years of hoping for market share gains, Linux may finally gain large market share on the desktop. All in all, I think the integration with Google's cloud services will be what's most interesting here. The fact that it’s Google behind it is what’s “new.” To me, that’s exciting for several reasons:

Chrome is just based on Linux and there is nothing new about it. i tried Chrome OS and it is pretty much like a scaled down version of Ubuntu.
