Has anyone noticed that the hype around Google's Chrome OS is slowed to a crawl? When Google was meant to be a new kind of operating system announced for the first time, publish the article left and States that Chrome OS the hegemony of Microsoft and Apple are challenging, boldly capitalizes on the model of cloud computing-centric new and makes use of the emergence of the netbook. But a funny thing happened on the way to the party. We've written before about how Google operating system with basic assumption--that users only-the cloud model to work with data and applications--will receive from the brand. What has been said that the less is that netbook hardware platforms, Google Base, focusing on the last not as permanent hardware Category.
According to data released by Gartner earlier this month, has a netbook sales "noticably contracted" within a few months after stratospherically up when they first came out. Many observers put the blame on the advent of the tablet device, which in many cases a good replacement for netbooks and low hardware resources to which they belong.
Meanwhile, ZDNet by Steven j. Vaughan-Nichols puts the blame on Microsoft and Intel:
"I think that netbooks – small, inexpensive notebooks-fell because Microsoft and Intel have successfully weaning original equipment manufacturers (OEM) s from Linux and low-end — with low profit margin-related hardware ...This is always Microsoft plan since they first cold-loved by the sudden explosion of customer interest in netbooks. "
Indeed, Microsoft executives made some quotes about the emergence of Netbooks as he is doing well, and the market should be looked at closely.Microsoft competing with Google in various fields, and the company must Consider how Google focused on netbooks as a logical platform for Chrome OS.
However, there are more than the hardware type, and then the power of Microsoft and Intel, some older reasons why netbooks are shaky, and a Google-based netbook operating system can be declined with them.Because portable computers were introduced--has at least mild form factor in which followed the original luggables 30-pound-a-user always demands a lot of choice in portable computer form factors and configurations.
Take a look around you for the hardware that the tote. Some people like rats, some of the unique benefits of the device is pointing at ThinkPads, some people like to form lightweight and thin MacBook Air. The bottom line is that people more choices in their portable computer than the NetBook market to always want to have.
Like Google Chrome OS goes forward, knocking off the hardware market that it is banking on the platform for line of sight. If the keyword VAR Guy notes, Google Chrome OS is now "focus on the term laptop instead of a netbook hype." behind the position of the change it will remain, such as Google trying to find the right position to unusual operating system for rapidly changing the landscape for portable computers.
