Dell is more willing to launch the moblin-based netbook product as soon as possible

Dell said it is evaluating the Google Chrome OS Operating System Development Plan to determine whether Dell will use Chrome OS in its own netbook in the future.

Google announced last Tuesday that it will launch a PC operating system based on its Chrome browser, which is based on the Linux kernel. The company also said that the Chrome OS development plan has been supported by mainstream PC vendors such as Hewlett-Packard and Acer. Most people in the industry believe that Chrome OS will directly threaten Microsoft's Windows business. It is worth noting that Google did not specifically mention Dell when talking about Chrome OS partners last week.

Doug Anson, Dell head of marketing strategy, wrote in the company's official blog on Wednesday: "Dell will not reject any new technology, for Chrome OS and other operating system products, dell Plans to evaluate them." He also said that Dell has maintained good cooperative relations with Google for many years.

Even so, amson also said that compared with Chrome OS, Dell is now more interested in the moblin Operating System Based on the same Linux kernel, "moblin is more able to meet the running requirements of small-size devices, it also has its own advantages in user interfaces and applications (such as media players and browsers."

Industry insiders believe that amson's remarks indicate that if Chrome OS performance is good, Dell will not reject this product. However, in the near future, Dell is more willing to launch a netbook product based on moblin or Ubuntu as soon as possible.
