heh heh http://www.askvg.com/microsoft-gazelle-web-browser-microsofts-answer-to-google-chrome-os/ Helen J. Wang, senior researcher in the Systems and Networking group at Microsoft Research Redmond, is working on ways to evolve the browser into an operating system that supports an increasingly sophisticated Web environment. full article: http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/news/features/gazelle-062909.aspx |

please tell him. ignorance and knowledge are two relative concepts. you might smile smugly to yourself thinking you're more knowledgeable in a particular subject but someone else might see all your knowledge as crass ignorance. |

George_D: hmmm, so ppl cant do a little research b4 posting erroneous doctrines on threads right? the reason i dont post in th auto section is bcuz i dont know jack shit about cars and i am not going there to argue blindly, if my car has a problem i head for the mechanics, if i dont believe what they say the problem is, i seek a second opinion but i dont argue over a topic like cars when i dont know and certainly wont post stuff that is totally false just for the sake of posting. ppl read this stuff and a lot of them believe the crap and guess who suffers the consequence, me and all the other techs that the ignorance will make their job a lot harder bcuz sum1 read somewhere post some mis-leading information. if u dont know plz google, if u r not sure ask questions dont post faslehood period! |

Ex Inferis: my guy, try do ur research well before u send posts like these. google chrome OS is currently a netware because they do not currently have the technology to make the transition from a single browser to a full fledged operating system like windows that is why their target is currently netbooks. Nevertheless according to their recent blog they have plans to develop the OS to suit various demands. give them a break kid, they are just starting. |

^^^^^ where is Ex? this should be fun   |
| Re: Google Announces Own OS (Google Chrome OS) by na2day2(m): 4:53pm On Jul 18, 2009 |
simpsonX: so u did ur research and came up with this crap?  i dont even know with which part of ur mouth u used in saying google dont have the technology make a desktop OS or enterprise OS, if u dont know anything shut ur mouth up. i can make a desktop OS myself as a derivative from any linux distro and tons of folks do that already, then the might google cant?  dude, they have a focus and that is where they are heading to, a light web-based OS period, this has been in the works for sometime now. i wonder where u guys get ur stories from.  a simple google search can get u something like this http://googleblog..com/2009/07/introducing-google-chrome-os.html |

you are a kid na2day. and u simply lack the understanding of the link you actually posted. i would have explained a lot to you but with the way you are going about this i think il save my breath.  |
| Re: Google Announces Own OS (Google Chrome OS) by na2day2(m): 10:47pm On Jul 18, 2009 |
simpsonX: oga wisdom plz explain let me hear FYI: i have gone through ur one page post log on NL and there is no significant contribution on any of ur previous post, the fact that u dont know how to fine tune a vista machine leaves a sour taste in my mouth. b4 u talk abt the link i post next time, read it, if u can't read go back to school. |

simpsonX: since you're dumb enough to call yourself simpson x, i guess the only simpson you are parallel with must be Homer just for sheer stupidity. there is an unspoken rule here: if you want to refute, try and be knowledgeable AT LEAST, you owe yourself that much. so lets start dispensing with your ignorance. 1: you said simpsonX: this is not just patently false but plain stupid. one, there is NO class of OS known as NETWARE because the term is proprietary and defines Novell's Network operating System (NOS) and has nothing to do with Google's Cloud-oriented Web OS. 2: you said simpsonX: stupid stupid stupid! who even gave birth to you? whenever was there a transition from a browser to a full fledged OS in the history of computing? every single browser has its foundation in NCSA Mosaic, and the core functionality has remained essentially unchanged. the purpose of browsers is very specialist and form a subset of the many functions provided by computers, functins which require an OS to run. you can have an OS without a browser but you cant have a browser without an OS. so where lies the basis for saying a browser even needs to warp into an OS? when google said Chrome is essentially a browser, they dont mean it literally; it means the OS is light and inclined towards a specific segment of general computing in which the emphasis is on web-based computing. Google is one of the major pushers towards cloud computing and you can see it in Search, Google Docs, Picasa Online, Google Calendar, Google Reader, Gmail, Google Voice, Google contacts etc. all the minutiae of your entire life is theoretically going up online, all your contacts, mails, docs, calendars, etc. so logically Chrome is supposed to make this easier. you dont need a clunky "full fledged" OS for cloud computing. this is the primary appeal of Netbooks. in case you dont know, and clearly you dont, google does have the technology to create a full fledged OS, even a platform, such as they did with android. using linux to make a full desktop class OS is a matter of choice. besides, Google is rated as one of the top tech companies of our time. netbooks being bigger brothers to MID, o not require the bling of Windows 7 or vista because they run on less powerful hardware, and because they are geared towards light web-based computing they require lightweight Operating Systems, that is why we have Linpus Linux, Moblin, and now Chrome OS. except if you want to say Intel, whose technology powers 90% of computers, doesnt have the technology to create a full fledged OS and so has to settle for a lighter one in the Moblin. given your stupidity its something you can do. and dont call me kid, you diphallic sperm mishap. |

I don't know about Google chrome OS being all that successful though. Their web browser was very encouraging, far better than IE 8 but wasn't all that successful. It will take more than years to compete for a 5% market share because Microsoft controls more than 80% with Window and Vista. Although Vista is a total flop and i'm stuck with it. I will just say whatever OS Google does, their OS should be compatible with Microsoft. Google will have more than a hard time competing with Microsoft and breaking their monopoly, and with Microsoft's contractual agreements with several computer manufacturing giants including U.S based Dell, HP and the rest, they are in for much more than they bargained for, that's for sure. One thing is certain, soon we would be hearing in California federal district court, Google vs Microsoft over anti-trust; unfair business competition. |

well you cant judge my contributions to nairaland with about 21 posts to my name na2day, lol.im just starting, see this man, but i dont think il waste my time here getting into senseless fights with you since im here to build and not destroy.im also here to learn and to teach and not use insulting language. thats for kids who dont know how to get good points thru. do not even try to go where you are going to -challenging my credentials of being a tech. be very careful so u wont get urself burned. imagine you trying to refute my claims that google doesnt yet have the technology to create a full fledged op system like windows. imagine bringing up the linux gist, ha ha. who cant build on linux , thats why its called open source. the codes are everywhere and if guys like google decides to build with it and work on the weakness of microsoft to give users what they expect fine. i hope you are getting my point. you might not have loved my posts but i wasnt even trying to reach out to a mind like yours. talking about vista everyone knows vista is crap and also filled with crapwares techs dont need. if you love vista and redesigned it to suit your needs fine. il welcome you anyday for us to have a personal assessment on the efficiencies of both our computer systems. you seem to have a lot of fire in you. il advice you to put your passion somewhere more constructive so we could at least make the world a better place based on idea sharing.Monsieur Ex Inferis, i appreciate all your contributions to the group although im concerned about your egotistical way of passing information. constructive criticism is a language some people in this forum lack which is a great shame since we are all gearing up for one thing. improving our knowledge base. Ahem. and mr na2day, do not rely on google web search as your only source for info and then think that it makes you tech. |

simpsonX: today is sunday, the last thing i need is actually reading ur ignorant post. if u have a background in IT name it, drop ur credentials and name a major project u have carried out in ur IT career, no, selling MTN cards dont count! i am not the smartest, i dont know a whole lot but i can still smell a fake from a mile away. BTW do u even know what an Operating System is? i dont have ur time; when u get something more intelligent to say holla |

LWKMD @Na2day, simpsonX Let me interject briefly that I did a quick check of the discussions like this going on online and offline and bring to your notice a couple observations. It's being wondered that Chrome OS would be no different from a linux distro that opens straight into the Webkit browser [i'm guessing that's a linux internet browser] only utilising web apps, google GEARS, the gDrive and a strong brand name in Google. Care to point out the pros and cons of that argument? Secondly, Apple is now said to have 10% of the general OS market, MS 80% and the rest divided. Which percentage is Chrome most likely to affect and what are its chances in the desktop OS market? Please discuss and then get back to your hair-pulling if that's more fun. |
| Re: Google Announces Own OS (Google Chrome OS) by simpsonX: 9:50pm On Jul 19, 2009 |
pros--- free, fast boot up tym based on speculations,since its on linux it will be open source, few compatibility issues etc cons- market monopolization since a lot of users will be forced to use google apps, google makes money mostly from adverts so expect to see adverts popping up in the wrong places and at the wrong time, i read its beta status wont expire till 2038 which means that errors will not be totally apologized for. wireless cloud computing is the new deal and apart from its pro that you will have probably an unlimited storage space, there will be privacy issues which means that you will not know which organisation will have access to your files. that will be a problem for a lot of people. Believe me the list goes on and on. Google will have the right to change your icons since most of their apps are copyrighted and a lot of things will give you less power to customize your system. advert advert and more advert. useless info popping out on your screen. broda. well as for market share, google will definitely face stiff competition from other netbook OS manufacturers and i really dont think that the bigboys like microsoft whose main focus is the pc will be greatly affected. the chrome OS might be a spark that will burn brightly for a while until users get become disappointed. again who knows??. |

Phony200: my argument is not the fact that google will or will not take the market from MS(i care less), if i understood what google's intentions are is basically to change the concept of "LIGHT COMPUTING". google's idea is that since most users are not power users, so they intend to make an OS so light that it can run on very minimal resource yet exposing the end user to basic applications they are familiar with. any1 who thinks that if they get chrome they suddenly can carry out their vector computing and rendering as b4 is fooling themselves; autocad light, maya, adobe premier etc will not be the kind of software that will be used, the word "LIGHT" must not be lost in understanding google's concept but for sum1 like simpsonX to claim google can not write or design an OS as good as MS windows is just plain stupidity and extreme ignorance. this is a true quote from the guy simpsonX: there is a major difference between writing a good software and gaining acceptance (marketability), if more ppl buy or tend to buy a particular OS, companies are forced to tailor their products to be compatible with that OS in order to get the market, for example, MS windows has nothing on Mac OS X but MS got the market, another example will be the current 3.0 OS running on the iphone is no better than windows mobile(i know bcuz i got both of them) but guess what, after Apple hit over 1bn downloads from the app store in June, there has been a exponential increase on their request line by developers bcuz the game is all about the market. go check out craig's list and u will find that there are more request now for iphone developers than b4. i open to discuss the pros and cons of a light OS but only with sum1 who actually makes sense |

simpsonX: I am not a computer or IT expert and while I agree with some of the thing you said, I disagree with most. What market monopoly are you talking about? In what markets; U.S. Europe, Asia or African market which because as far as I still know U.S and Europe accounts for the largest computer users with U.S. being the largest. I am not a comp expert, but that concept of monopoly is wrong. Second, you mentioned about ad, ad, and more ad. That is totally incorrect. While Google makes money through ad, Google is not stupid to realize that majority and I mean MAJORITY dislike pop-ups and they would never want to loose any market they have, in that case, that is not an idea they would be thinking of. Third, you mentioned about privacy, I don't know the world you live in but in the U.S., no organization has access to your computer files without prior authorization even as big as Microsoft is, they will ask for your permission to gather information and that is one that deals related to the computers efficiency like computer crash reports, virus attacks and so on and not your personal files. In that case, I strongly disagree with you. Fourth, although they would have the right to change icons because its copyrighted, believe most people would not hesitate to change their system immediately if they find the hard complexity and flexibility to customize their system. In my own opinion, I don't honestly believe Google will make such mistake. Fifth, while I'm not certain if Microsoft is developing the same or a different platform for net books which I would imagine they have or they are in progress, I must agree with you on the fact that they would face more than a stiff competition and come to think of it, the Netbooks are not that best either, its true they are portable, but they have limited functions. I would not see a reason why I would wanna buy a netbook rather I buy a smaller laptop. Again its just my own opinion. |
