Seven different insights into the Chrome OS

While the current wave of Android is spreading, the December 7, 2010 official debut of the Chrome Web store and Chrome OS in the US has made a big splash in the notebook market. According to our sources, Chrome OS is a major operating system for netbooks and ultra lightweight laptops, and will there be a conflict between Google's smartphone operating system and Android, which has occasional internet access?

What's more, Chrome OS is a cloud operating system that lets us experience the power of the Internet in unprecedented ways, and is it still a beautiful lie?

To that end, we've summed up the difference between seven points of Chrome OS and Android today. By contrast, I hope you can be more intuitive and more objective to have a more comprehensive understanding of the Chrome OS.

Chrome OS is mainly used for netbook products

From the operating system itself, the Android system is primarily geared toward smartphones and flat-panel markets, while Google's Chrome OS is designed specifically for netbooks and ultra lightweight notebooks.

In fact, this also can be seen, two operating systems in the application is very different. For example, since it is for smartphones and tablets, the Android system is bound to be more optimized for "touch" operations so that the user's fingers can get the maximum release within a limited amount of space. In contrast, the Chrome OS is primarily geared to netbooks and other lightweight devices that are particularly similar in form to traditional notebooks.

But how can we be sure that Android and Chrome will not come together in the future, with the changing application format and increasing user demand?

Cloud Computing in Chrome OS

The so-called cloud computing concept is proposed by Google, claiming to be a beautiful network application model. Of course, maybe you don't really know what cloud computing is. It doesn't matter, but you don't need to get a special insight as long as you know the general meaning of cloud computing is to put all the applications on the network, we are in the hands of the device is only a pure application, want to see what, want to play as long as you choose to follow their own meaning, and our Chrome OS will introduce this concept.

Specifically, Google Chrome OS will not allow users to install any applications or store any data locally, all applications will be run from the Internet.

Imagine, if so, what would be called "devices" in our hands with Google Chrome OS? Does it feel like a sci-fi blockbuster?

The overall integrity of the Chrome OS is greatly improved

Since any application will run on the internet and will not store any data locally, a netbook with a chrome operating system will get a big boost for three seconds at boot speed. In addition, because your applications and data are in the Internet, the threat of viruses and other security threats to the device itself is meaningless, reached a "world non-toxic" era.

Of course, the application of Chrome OS cloud computing has a particular advantage because all of your data is stored on the Internet, so that even if you temporarily change the device (with the Chrome OS netbook), it will not cause any inconvenience to use. And if you really lose your Chrome OS netbook, just change your personal password and everything will be in your hands.

Chrome OS has a compact user interface

I believe someone has always thought that the more complex the function, the more cumbersome the operation of equipment, the higher the technology content. And if you really think that, then Chrome OS will surprise you.

Unlike Android, Chrome OS has only one of the most basic and concise interfaces in front of you, so many people think that Chrome OS is just an advanced Google browser.

It's true that you can't install software, you can't store data, Chrome OS has thrown all the apps to the Internet, what's the use of a complex interface? When you start the Chrome OS, it's really just a browser window, but you can choose what you want to do with a different pull-down menu. In contrast to the traditional notebook more convenient way of operation is destined to be the future development trend of personal applications.

Chrome OS does not use Android

As we mentioned earlier, perhaps one day in the future, Android and Chrome will join forces to crush the legendary empire. But we are talking about "maybe", not now.

Special NOTE: Chrome OS is not Android and all Android apps are not running on Chrome OS at the moment.

In fact, as long as you think carefully, the current application between the two systems is bound to be not interoperable. Because Android apps are only installed locally, Chrome OS is all internet-based.

Chrome OS can't run normal PC software

Since even their own Android brothers are not "friendly", let alone the ordinary PC software, all pass!

Chrome OS apps will all be web-based, and you don't have to worry about the richness of the software, which is now well known for Gmail, Google Docs, Microsoft Office 365 suite, and so on. What's more, Google has released an app store, and more cloud-based applications specifically designed for Chrome OS will appear there.

In this case, it occurred to me that a recent news article about Android apps was over 100,000, so what about apps in the future Chrome OS App Store? 100,000? 1 million? More ...

Chrome OS can be upgraded automatically

System upgrades believe that as long as friends who have used a computer have encountered: the legitimate system of friends choose to automatically update, and the installation of pirated systems will be closed, so as not to appear "unnecessary" trouble.

For Chrome OS, because the system is built in a read-only memory, Google will not allow applications to change the operating system. Of course, the Chrome OS will be automatically updated regularly, and theoretically automatic Updates can also fix damaged modules to help resolve system crashes or software compatibility issues.
