A webOS is not a new idea, a search engine was not a new idea, Google don’t do new ideas. To their credit they do improve what they copy and push Apple/MS etc and there is nothing wrong with that. By all means people should be enthusiastic about a new entrant but perspective (see the 1st comment for example) should be maintained.

IE is losing marketshare rapidly. maybe the other browsers are losing more of their share to Chrome, but Chrome is another browser that’s better than IE, and another nail in the IE coffin.

And might even get some of that MAC market if Apple still refuses to make Netbooks. MS will do just fine just like they haven’t been phased by Chrome Browser but others have.

Google clearly pointing to Microsoft when they say “The operating systems that browsers run were designed in an era where there was no web”. But there are few questions which are unanswered like what will happen when we will go offline in Chrome OS? Can we use offline applications like iTunes or Photoshop? Can we run third party applications? How they are going to make profit from it ? I am also bit concerned whether Chrome OS will be embraced by enterprises as it is open source and web based as there is always a security issue….Just wait another thought can Chrome OS will become a global hit especially in small countries where internet is very fickle. But leaving these things aside its going to be win-win situation for the users and it will be interesting to witness the war between giants.

I’m not sure that it is 5 years too early, but you’re right, it will be very challenging to make something that will work well for everyone just yet.

SO @1 sounds to be out of luck. And it’s not a new OS – from the announcement it sounds like the Linux kernel, probably a new graphics manager (not X11) and the Chrome browser. I imagine there will be some basic device drivers peripherals, but this is meh. Few of us can really live in the cloud 100% of the time and 2010 won’t change that. As a netbook OS this sounds great – light, fast and cloud oriented for a device that’s mostly a way to check stuff on the web.

But if they expand it to a real OS that runs local apps (not locally hosted web apps) they and their fans will see all of the hard things about an OS – device compatibility, recompiling for a new OS, etc.

Verdict? So far it’s a nice OS for netbooks, tablets etc. It’s also about 5 years too early as it wants us to live entirely in the cloud.

As application developers, we are less enthusiastic about learning a new OS or a new API, but we would be very open to running our application on a new, fast, simple and secure platform.
