Google Big Picture - Chrome, the Web Store and Chrome OS

This is a big time for Chrome team and same for the search engine giant Google. How long ca we call Google search engine giant? Don't worry about it, soon Google will create a platform that can be used from anywhere ( with internet connection ) from a mobile, netbook, tablet, laptop, desktop or anything you call it. Google Chrome browser update, the web store and the Chrome OS are couple of important steps towards the ultimate goal of creating a centralized system.

This is what Google says about three steps they have taken

"Chrome

This year, the number of people using Chrome has tripled from 40 to 120 million. Speed is what people love most about Chrome, and we’re always working to make the browser even faster. Therefore we’re bringing Google Instant to the Omnibox, showing search results and loading web pages as you type. We’ve also overhauled V8, Chrome’s JavaScript engine. It now runs complex JavaScript programs up to twice as fast as before. These two features are available in our early access channels and will be rolling out to everyone soon.

Chrome Web Store

Today the Chrome Web Store is open for business. Developers have already started uploading apps, and we expect the number to grow over time. Right now the store is only available in the U.S., but will expand to many countries and currencies early next year. The store will be featured prominently in Chrome, helping people discover great apps and developers reach millions of users around the world.

Chrome OS

Last year, we announced our effort to design an operating system that is built and optimized for the web. Many people already spend all their time in a web browser, and by building an operating system that is essentially a browser, we can make computers faster, much simpler and fundamentally more secure."

Who else is capable of coming up with such a system. Apple and Microsoft is the only competitors that is capable of coming up with a system that is secure and can be 100% sync with a server and access it from another device.
