Google ChromeOS: have people given leave of their senses? | |

Google already has its own form of Linux it uses to run its gazzilion servers so to Krishnan’s point, why is it re-inventing the wheel? Would it not have been easier to build out of that? Maybe it has and we just haven’t been told. That would be a smart move because then you could see how Google might put servers in the Internet cloud. The initial target seems to be the Netbook but I don’t see how anyone can realistically extrapolate that to world dominance of the entire PC market, let alone the crucially important server market. The last figures I saw say the total Notebook shipments were 5.62 million. That was in December 2008 so let’s be incredibly generous and double the number for the last six months. That means some 15 million Netbooks in the market. That’s pretty small potatoes when you think there are some 12 million Blackberries alone in the market. It also ignores predictions that it will be the smartphone that becomes the dominant device, at least in the markets that are growing. | ||
