Chrome OS and windows

1. Chrome OS is not a narrow definition of "OS"

Chrome OS is not a new operating system kernel. It is still an Application Software Based on OS. The current message is based on the Linux kernel, but this does not mean that Chrome OS will not run on other operating systems, such as Windows and Mac (because chrome itself is cross-platform ).

 

2. Impact of Chrome OS on Windows

Currently, Chrome OS does not pose a direct threat to the survival of windows, but it is indeed a direct threat to Microsoft's future. Chrome OS is a basic application software that provides brand new network and local services based on the operating system. He is based on the operating system, so he is also higher than the operating system.

As we all know, Microsoft's biggest profit source is applications based on Windows, such as office. Windows also brings about a huge industrial chain. Windows is a core product for Microsoft. As long as windows is monopolized, it can control the entire industry chain based on it. Google needs to promote its own cloud computing and browser support for cloud computing. Therefore, Google develops chrome. Cloud computing requires hardware terminals, so Android and Netbooks are developed. Cloud computing requires the support of the operating system, So Google is not directly developing the operating system, but developing brand new networks and local applications on it, with Chrome OS, You can provide office, search services, games, and other applications. Once Google's Chrome OS is mature, a large number of mature applications are gathered, and the industrial chain has been established, Windows is just the kernel of an operating system. Microsoft has lost control over applications based on windows. Microsoft's days will be even harder.

Therefore, Google's Chrome OS development strategy is superior to Microsoft's.
