4 Substantial Risks That Google Takes With Chrome OS

Google is a company well-known for taking risks with various kinds of software projects, and the upcoming Chrome OS will be one of its most ambitious projects yet. The open source operating system, which Canonical and the Ubuntu team have contributed to, includes some bold gambles from Google. These include automatic wipes of the operating system with subsequent reinstallation whenever malware is detected, no hard disks on netbooks housing Chrome OS and more. GigaOm has the four big risks Google is taking with the new OS.

Meanwhile, Google has delivered a very fast new beta version of the Chrome browser, and it features bookmark syncing so that you can keep your bookmarks streamlined across multiple computers.


Are the Operating System Wars Back?

Ask many people who witnessed the rise of the PC when the operating system wars ended, and they'll think of many years ago, when Microsoft Windows arrived on about nine in 10 computers. While the Linux community often argues that the operating system wars are still raging, at least on the desktop, raging is a hard argument to support. Still, depending on which angle you view the modern operating system struggle from, there is a lot of interesting competition going on. John Dragoon, CMO of Novell, said as much in a Forbes piece titles Battle of the OS Titans.

As Download Squad cites, based on notes in a post detailing changes to the Chrome browser's Chromium core, Chrome OS sounds a lot like a bootable browser running on Linux. There are reasons to believe that as soon as you start the operating system, you'll be in the Chrome browser, and reasons to believe that you won't have the choice to use other browsers. That could potentially cause Google trouble.

In a move that could quickly be followed by similar deals, Google has reportedly inked a deal with Sony to pre-install the Chrome web browser on new Sony VAIO computers. As JKOnTheRun notes, this marks the first deal that Google has signed with a hardware vendor to get Chrome involved in consumers? OOBE (out of box experience). The out of box experience with a browser is particularly important on consumer systems, where many users will simply use whichever browser is already installed, and similar bundling deals are what helped propel Microsoft's Internet Explorer to dominant market share. There isn't any word on what kind of money changed hands here, but I'm guessing it was a significant amount, and this deal is another sign of strong momentum for open source browsers.
