1. Comment - Google Chrome OS: Too little, too early

   (Jul 9, 2009 - 3:48 PM)

   I agree that it is an uphill battle. But nothing like a little competition to make things interesting. Microsoft has dominated largely because there was no one comparable to the juggernaut. Winning by default is still a win, mind you; but how long can you continue to do that?
   
   My guess is that Google won't recreate the wheel, but they will make it more user-friendly, less prone to bugs and crashes, accessible, and more barrier-free. I also think they will use crowdsourcing to make this a product that speaks to the consumer and one the end-user has a stake in both product-wise and maybe even, emotionally.
   
   I also think that Google has the populous pulling for them. The public is ready to see someone with the power and knowledge to give ol' Bill a run for his money. It's a great David and Goliath story, albeit David has put on some weight for this fight.
   
   These are just a few of the thoughts from a non-techie with a gripe or two about Windows. Did I mention I'm buying a mac this fall? hahaha
