Google Announces New Operating System Development and Future plans to Launch its own Laptop

Microsoft will soon have new competition on the computer and operating system industry when search engine giant Google launches its new laptop computer. Joining forces with Alienware, Dell´s custom PC branch to provide a brand new Netbook with an operating system developed by Google that will be available to the public on the second half of 2010. With state of the art technology that makes the computer starting process much faster and efficient to run, without having to wait for your operating system to wake up and get ready to run.

The cost of this Netbook (known as its product number GG 1984) will be a mere $100, running on both x86 as well as ARM chips and simple software architecture, running on Google Chrome OS within a new windowing system on top of a Linux kernel. Making the web its platform for application developers, automatically working on new applications that are web-based. These applications will not only run on Google Chrome OS but also on any standard based Windows, Mac and Linux browser, becoming the largest user based platform.

“We hear a lot from our users and their message is clear — computers need to get better. People want to get to their email instantly, without wasting time waiting for their computers to boot and browsers to start up” wrote Sundar Pichai, VP product management Engineering Director on the official Google blog last Tuesday July 07th, making evident that there will be a dramatic turn in computer technology, the whole operating system functionality and browsing web experience that is shifting towards a more efficient and futuristic concept.

But the madness just begins; Google announced that it will also incorporate a build-in brain wave reading chip, with sensors than are applied to the skull of the user connecting to the laptop on a USB port. This futuristic item that can perfectly be extracted out of a sci-fi flick is intended to monitor online surfing habits, to improve the experience and also needed to brows online on the new Netbook, soon to be available for other computers.

Google and Microsoft have begun a battle to become number one on search engines. When Microsoft launched its resent search engine Bing, after a decade of Google dominating online searches and now the search engine monster stepping in new grounds with its own operating system and the development of its own Computer laptop, it ignited a technological rivalry more exciting than ever. The battle has just begun and only time will tell who will keep the largest piece of the software and online Search pie.

"On a scale of one to 10, I'd say the threat to Microsoft is a three," said Howard Anderson, a lecturer at the MIT Entrepreneurship Center and former CEO of the Yankee Group. Estimating that a 2 percent of PC users will be using Google Chrome OS on its first year of use. Depending on how well this operating system runs its growth and popularity will increase among users. Both companies are aware of what’s at risk and they are gambling big into the future of computer technology development and search engine optimization.
