Chromium OS

This broadcast is about the OS that Google is coming out with. It is trying to gain an even stronger foothold in the computer industry. According to the report around 90% of the world's computers use Windows and no one has been able to take much from their market share. If you run a search on Google's search engine it holds anywhere from 65% to 70% of the search engine market (depending on which page you look at). These are both very strong companies.

When Google comes out with it's OS it will probably have a hard time getting into the OS market but if it has a free product I think it may attract a lot of people to use it. I sounds like it will be easier to use than Linux and it already has a name that markets user friendliness. Maybe the next time a person has to reinstall windows yet again they will decide to make the switch.

The major problem is that people don't want to change what they are comfortable with. If their OS works, they aren't going to install something else. If their version of Windows crashes, they may be inclined to install Google but if they have not already gotten a copy of it to install and their computer isn't working they may not have that option.

In the end, I agree with the closing comments of the report. Any competition for Windows is good and will benefit consumers in the end.
