Solve : What Google Chrome will mean for cyber-security? |

Answer» http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20327176.700-what-google-chrome-will-mean-for-cybersecurity.htmlGoogle is making a LOT of promises on this OS. Personally I'm with what a lot of other people are saying on the INTERNET, an OS is no simple feat, even for a company like Google. Even if it is virus free I don't see a lot of people even considering converting over for 5+ years. People saying that Google OS is the Microsoft killer IMO don't know the history of operating systems. Getting good driver support alone is going to take years.I have to agree. An OS change is a bit more to ask people then changing search engines or changing browsers- it changes the way they do everything on their PC. And it RAISES the question, of wether this new OS will deliver on anything but internet features. Windows, as we all know, as well as most other OS's out there, were "born" before the net and were made to work with the net. I think that Google is taking a bold step in building a OS around the concept of the net, and really it makes you wonder if they were paying attention when SUN Failed to re-introduce the "whole Server->Dumb terminal" topology that permeates around the time of the VAX-VMS; while we can't deny that it is an intriguing concept to build an OS around internet connectivity and features, it stands to reason that that connection will not always be there and in such times the OS would need to "cope"- other OS's simply work properly without the ability to connect. But what will google chrome do? Will it require a connection? And as was said the only reason windows got driver support was because it became popular; people started asking for the drivers, and asking when the companies would have them; the question is, will the comparatively small NUMBER of google OS users be a loud enough voice to get the big peripheral vendors and motherboard manufacturs, such as Nvidia, ATI, ASUS, etc, to spend their money on drivers for Google Chrome; this is, of course, assuming that google chrome even supports the concent of drivers...My uncle was telling me about this, and he said that microsoft is scared. But after reading that, I dont think they should be. Its based on the web, so it doesnt sound like it will be the best for gaming. I think I will stick with windows until I see otherwise. Agreed with nathan and bc. |
