Chrome - living in a Google world? 4:29pm on 08 Jul 2009 Google have the hype and the money, but they lack years of experience with OS, they lack the developers community, they lack the distribution channels which are unscalable in the short term.

Linux is well developed with an original look of UNIX which has been around for many years, Windows 7 is near to release. Google's core earnings are advertising, Microsoft is selling to end users a big difference. Is it Google who are nervous not Microsoft, over the past few months their has been a large increase in opensource activity for Microsoft products and this has to be of concern for Google. Remember most commercial websites are now using Microsoft development tools (dot net) then php, java and ColdFusion being the other dependable technologies. Google's offerings to date for developers may I say are 'dark age'. Not many Google developed websites are their?

They have announced this now, today. Are Google so naive to think they can build an OS from scratch in one year, beta testing alone can take over a year, then seriously compete with the likes of Microsoft, Apple and Linux. I think not.
