This video does a good job at showing how simple a browser-based operating system could be. This could work wonders for users without high tech demands or high tech skills. Or is it also for experts?
Google ditches Windows on security concerns
via ft.com
In wild, but not shocking, news Google is phasing out support for Microsoft Windows on employee machines. This doesn't seem to be a public announcement so much as news sniffed out from employees. According to the FT article employees can choose the Mac OS or Linux (no mention of which version/flavor). They also discuss Chrome, although unlikely that engineers will be working on Chrome since it is supposed to be a web-OS, no? Don't they need apps, compilers, hard drive storage, etc? Lots to be seen in this story, but for now just looks like Google taking a jab at Microsoft. Nice jab.
