Google operating system coming soon

A new operating system is reportedly in the pipeline according to Google, this new OS is due late next year and is being touted as a competitor to Microsoft Windows OS. Although Google are hoping to undermine Microsoft's hold on the PC market the fact that the Google OS will target the netbook user is probably not going to be a great cause for concern at Microsoft.

The netbook is a low spec, less powerful type of laptop and most do not include Windows as the primary operating system anyway, these netbooks are ideal for the free open source operating systems such as Linux which will run on machines with lower specs far better than Windows will.

On that basis it would appear that the Google OS will not be such a major threat to Microsoft as is being predicted, if on the other hand Google are able to create an operating system that will be work on a more powerful machine, then that might be a different story.
