Currently, blogs have turned to be venues of mass communication, but we expect more from an OS than simply being a comment on a blog - as Microsoft describes the new Google OS Chrome.
Microsoft continues its onslaught against Google, saying that it does not feel any discomfort due to the future operating system Chrome. Microsoft expresses indifference to Google plans to launch in 2010 its operating system based on open source. “For now, Chrome is simply a comment on a blog,” says Bill Veghte, a spokesman for Microsoft, to the news agency DPA, citing the official Google blog, announcing Chrome OS.
The Linux-based operating system for netbooks will be available during the second half of 2010. Microsoft bases its comments by remembering us of what happened long before Google launched its final package of online office applications, which were considered as an alternative to Office. The Google Office package did not debunk Microsoft’s alternative. And Microsoft is even preparing an own line version.
Microsoft also pointed out to the huge network of partner software developers working on programs for its new platform, Windows 7. Microsoft is organizing a large scale conference for partners in New Orleans. The event is normally attended by 9,000 Microsoft business partners and attention will focus on Windows 7. The primary interest is to ensure that the Microsoft “ecosystem” indeed works properly, i.e., applications and hardware components and software are compatible with the new platform.
According to Microsoft’s own figures, 16,000 partners develop software developed for the Windows 7 platform. Not an easy task to emulate by the new Google OS Chrome.
