Article Title: 10 reasons why Google OS can beat Linux. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.

　　Guidance:The us it website eWeek wrote yesterday that Google Chrome OS will beat Linux and Nokia in the netbook field after the market, and listed 10 reasons.

　　The full text is as follows:

Google Chrome OS will be available next year. can this product defend against Linux? No problem, especially in the netbook field, Chrome OS will have unique advantages.

Although Chrome OS is not listed yet, it has caused an uproar in the industry. The operating system will initially be available for netbooks because Google believes it can provide excellent web browsing and email functions for small netbooks, and can be well qualified for other basic tasks.

As Google wants to enter the netbook field, it must compete with Nokia and other Linux vendors and strive to seize market share. At present, Microsoft controls 96% of the netbook market share. This is a very difficult task, but it is highly probable for the following reasons:

　　1. Google is a household name

Although Linux and Nokia both have their own advantages, they are not well-known brands. When talking about PC, users seldom mention Linux, and Nokia enjoys a high reputation only in the mobile phone field. However, all computer users know Google and use Google's services almost every day. If you want to select between Ubuntu and Chrome OS, most users will definitely choose Chrome OS.

　　2. Linux is daunting

Technically proficient users may like Linux very much, but most common users do not have this skill, and Linux can block these users. Most users use Windows instead of Linux. If Google and Chrome OS are introduced, such concerns will be dispelled to some extent and some users will be attracted.

　　3. new concepts attract attention

Although some people think that Ubuntu and other Linux products will be better than Chrome OS, most users do not care. The brand-new idea of Chrome OS will be widely used. after it is used, users who do not like this idea will naturally give up. But before that, some users who want to select other operating systems other than Windows will always pay attention to Chrome OS. Once users discover the uniqueness of Chrome OS, Ubuntu will naturally be left behind.

　　4. poor support for netbooks in Linux

Using Linux on traditional laptops and desktops is not bad, but the netbook experience is unsatisfactory and full of flaws. Many peripherals are unavailable. If Mac OS X is used earlier than Windows, it is easier to adapt to Linux. However, the Linux interface is unfriendly.

　　5. Google has abundant funds

Linux supporters regard Microsoft's scale and strength as the target of attacks, but Microsoft occupies the dominant position in the operating system market. Google can also use this advantage to compete with Linux. In the software market, if you have sufficient funds, you can sell the product to the users you need to gain an advantage. Other Linux products lack funds, while Google has plenty of cash.

　　6. significant halo effect

Except for the "mainstream" operating system, it seems that there are few other reasons to attract users to use Linux. The same applies to Nokia. However, Google has many advantages. its search engine, Gmail, Docs, and other products have already won a large number of users, which will attract users to use Chrome OS. Since Google's network products have gained a good experience, why not try Google's operating system?

　　7. Microsoft factors

This seems to be against common sense, but in fact, Microsoft will certainly compete with Chrome OS, which will undoubtedly play a role in promoting Chrome OS. Microsoft will also launch corresponding products to compete directly with Chrome OS. A network operating system War is about to kick off. This will attract widespread media attention and filter users. In this process, Chrome OS will easily defeat Linux.

　　8. general trend

Although there is still a lot of work to do, the network operating system is indeed the trend of the times. As software is gradually transferred to cloud computing, it is only a matter of time for the operating system to adopt the same model. Chrome OS may not match Windows in terms of functionality, but it does bring a lot of convenience and can be used at any time, so users will make a positive response. Network is the development direction of the technology industry, while Google has a strong advantage in this field.

　　9. Google prefers open source

Linux has gained a large number of loyal users because it is an open-source operating system. Developers can design, add, and remove functions as they wish, and enjoy them. But Google Chrome OS can do the same, and it will soon be better.

　　10. Chrome OS is Linux

Never forget that Chrome OS is developed based on Chrome browser and Linux kernel. In other words, Chrome OS is a Linux operating system. In this case, why don't loyal Linux users choose Google products? Of course, there will still be many users who continue to use Ubuntu, but most users are not so firm, and Chrome OS can become a good candidate.
