Apparently Google is going forward with their Operating System, now I am not a Google, Microsoft, or Apple fan boy. I believe that some products are better suited for certain tasks than others. Anyone that hops on any one particular bandwagon is too busy worrying about what is popular instead of what works. All of the various software vendors offer something that is unique and different. There are of course similarities in their goals but they are unique in their execution. One company cannot and should not be everything to everyone. First and foremost this would require that a monopoly would better serve the people than separate companies, as we know from other industries unless the monopoly is government controlled (such as electricity, etc.) then a monopoly is not better for the people.
With Google Chrome OS, they will be attempting to overtake Microsoft and Apple. Now in some respects this would be a good thing, at least in the fact that with increased competition there comes an increase in innovation. However, the question remains would an additional operating system be beneficial to the users?
In my opinion I doubt that it will be better for the end users. Most people that I know that use computers don’t generally care about their operating system at least not as much as the techies that I know do, these people just want their computer to work without having to worry about bugs, flaws, etc. I think that Google’s new OS will not help the users as it will only add to their overall sense of uneasiness as they would have to adjust to something new.
