Is your PC slower than the first time you used it? booting slowly? Are you frustrated of the virus and other malwares? Wait for a new PC experience till the middle of 2010. Google has just announced a new light weighted, fast & secured operating system called Google Chrome Operating System.  After the massive success of innovative browser Google chrome this new operating system is named after that. Here are the few reasons why this Google Chrome OS will be very different among the existing ones and the killer of Microsoft windows.

Branding:

People are now ready to trust anything if it is branded by Google. Inspite of the trustworthiness and reliability Google can reach wide audience easily.

Cost:

Google Chrome operating system is 100% open source and it is free to use. No more license fee, genuine software validity or os update problem. So it is direct competition to Microsoft windows operating system. Who will ignore a quality product that too offered for free.

Speed:

It is a well known pain of a  windows user who should wait for minutes and minutes to get their system running up. Also a windows OS system will always perform slower than at the time of purchase. More the usage period, more the system slows. Since the failure of windows vista, people really need a good OS to replace the widely used windows XP. It is said/noticed that the upcoming Microsoft OS  Windows 7 (shortly launched – around october 2009) is light weighted and loads faster than vista. But Google challenged that this new OS will just boot in seconds not in minutes. So people will no more need to wait to start working on the system when they switch it on. Especially for notebook/netbook users it will be a WOW factor since it can save lot of battery power.

Compatibility:

Drivers support is the main problem in an operating system. Windows XP users experienced lot of issues at the initial stage and also Vista users was frustrated for the same at the beginning. The main reason for less linux users is also the same. Linux platforms does not support most of the hardwares and also required more time/knowledge to configure and run the OS. But Google said that with this Google chrome OS “Users don’t want to spend hours configuring their computers to work with every new piece of hardware, or have to worry about constant software updates.”

Security:
Google says that it will redesign the architecture of the OS where there should be no word for virus, malwares or spywares. Since security is the big concern of the operating system Google takes this very seriously. Windows users will definitely turn into this OS if this happens as they already know the impact of the losses due to virus attacks.

Web Applications:

It is really unnoticed that all the local applications are gone to web and we started using every thing online. Google Docs for Microsoft office.  Online players for windows media player. Gmail for outlook and many. So Google focuses on running web applications on operating system level instead of from browsers. This could be a revolution after 2010 since most user experience happens in web than local. So definitely this announcement of new OS architecture will push Microsoft to start thinking about WINDOWS 8 or so by now itself…. Let us keep our fingers crossed until the beta release of this chrome….

UPDATE: We also should not forget about the Flops and Failures of Google before we start celebrating this announcement.
