Here are some quotes from Eric Schmidt during the onstage interview yesterday that relate directly to the Google Chrome OS:
“the netbook is arriving–in particular, netbooks running Google’s forthcoming Chrome OS, a browser-based operating system.”
“Maybe in a year it’ll be possible for procuring a Netbook that costs a factor of five or 10 times cheaper than what you’re getting today… Chrome OS is due to arrive on netbooks in about a year.”
The term “netbooks” in association with Google Chrome OS means that the operating system is going to be more web integrated, versus the current Windows OS which is strictly PC / local operated.
The Google Chrome OS is sure to be a game changer in the world of computing. Now with consumers having a choice to ditch Microsoft, Google Chrome OS is definitely going to appeal to users.
