There are couple of features that really need to be considered here. At the movement there is not clear indication of how Google OS is going to looks like or support. However, Android (Google OS for its mobile) or the Google Chrome did not make much progress in the present market. In such a condition deciding to go for its own operating system can be though decision. It should be able to replace the current system. At least it should have the functions that we are enjoying or suffering or more the better.
So thing we can learn from Google Chrome browser is that Google is not paying much attention to the current trend. Google strongly believe that it need to break the current limitations or set of barriers to go for a efficient interaction with the Internet application or web. For example when all the browsers are supporting or start supporting plug-ins and tool bars Google Chrome took a strict decision not to support any browser plug-in or tool bars ( Not even their own Google Tool Bar).
(Image from www.mashable.com) Google Chrome OS Screenshots? Introducing Google Chrome is not enough to enjoy a speedy and secure life with internet. Reason behind this is that OS that Chrome Browser runs is not supporting it or its capabilities 100%. There are so many factors that slow down the browser or challenge its security.
I will not be surprise to see that so many OS functionalities that we think that we think that we cannot live without will not be supported by Chrome OS. Which will allow us to think better ways to get it done without challenging the simplicity or the security or the reliability of the OS. Bookmarklets are simple example of how well replace the Browser Plugins, tool bars or Add-ons.
Chrome it self supporting couple of features that are close to a OS. I mean just the look and feel and accessing what you need.
Gives one click access to most frequently visited websites. What is the point of having stat menu, task bar and desktop? Why not only desktop where it will automatically arrange its positions base on how frequently you use the application. Recently Google Chrome browser added the flexibility to move/remove or change the view. This can be something you can see on its OS.
Will that be a online Operating System? The idea we have today is to open up browser and go to the website that will let you log into a area that that will allow you to experience a similar desktop that you are experiencing now. There are couple of services like that(www.ajaxwindows.com). However there is not much need on such a system as it only give facility to access and work one virtual desktop. It will always suffer from the slow internet connection, increasing security threats (addition of both online OS and your current OS). Google chrome has different set of challenges that it need to focus on. Provide a faster secure and reliable internet connect with the same set of hardware infrastructure. Google Has its own set of online applications (Google Docs, GMail and etc)to support you and they will get more valuable.
Is Google Chrome OS is the one that connects everything together? One of the most debatable question that raise about Google is that why are they trying so many applications? Why Google want to move it to mobile industry when there are so many existing big player? Again why they want to move to operating system? Will come to these question later.
Google search engine was out there for sometimes for free. No advertising on the home page. There were couple of big players already in the search engine business that were doing great and making money out of it. That is not sound like a good business model. Directly you cannot see any potential of making money out of it. However, later it was wisely used for advertising and the ways of making money is endless.
Answering the above questions that we skipped: One product it self may not sounds exciting or making any profit. But combining couple of such products in smart way may provide much better result. Google Chrome OS will combine all its application browsers and services together.
Secret of Google is it always checks its user base before introducing its next step. By releasing Google Chrome browser they know 30 million people like their idea of simplicity and looking for better way to access internet. Also waiting for a change.
To see what is really going to happen with Google and its new OS we have to wait until second quarter of next year.
