Chrome OS is sort of a very basic operating system based on Linux. i wish that google make an operating system just like Windows XP that would compete with Microsoft

with the release of Google Chrome and Microsoft Bing search engine, one would expect that there would be a very stiff competition between Google and Microsoft.

Chrome OS would be very competitive on Microsoft operating systems. I was thinking that one day, Google would launch an Operating system that would complete with Windows XP or Vista. Google and Microsoft would compete head to head now that Microsft launched its Bing search engine.

I completely agree with what you say about how Microsoft and Google operate. I suppose only time will tell and it is after all a theory. Just remember though that Microsoft must be doing something right and also it does actually support its products and Google has a reputation for not supporting its products enough and its forever in beta. When it comes to Operating Systems it all comes down to personal preference and it would appear that Windows has been the choice so far. I really do hope that Google release a competitive desktop OS and I also hope that Microsoft manages to release a competitive search solution (and any other technically capable company) because a properly competitive market is good for everyone. We don’t want to end up with just another dominating monolith.

A ridiculous proposal, so say the least. Microsoft is clinging to monolithic development strategies, taking years to push products out the door, then facing public humiliation for not listening to their customers. Google already shifted the software development paradigm with their App suite, by allowing it to grow organically into what users needed. They shifted the data center paradigm by using a network of cheap, in-house machines with custom software and rigorous coding requirements. Now they’re poised to change something at the front-end; how users access content and interact with it. Microsoft is a giant, clinging to old ways as its’ marketshare slowly creeps away, while Google is pushing forwards, finding better ways. Google wants to be a leader in cloud computing, and they seem to be making progress on that.
