Today began circulating
strong rumors starting media like The
Verge and The Wall Street Journal that Google would be looking for ways
to unify the failed Chrome OS with
the popular Android to
give a lifeline to the system, thus seeking to try to combat any policy
unification presented by Microsoft with Windows 10. It seems that the company
intends to not confirm the speculation at least for now, as the responsible for
operational systems within the company used Twitter to deny any possibility of
the end of the Chrome OS this time.
According to Hiroshi
Lockheimer, the Chromebooks are getting a great success in the niche that
Google expects them to succeed, with a great commitment by the company for the
project to take even more certain in the future. Moreover, he even joked saying that
just bought two new models to their children perform school work, which is the
company's main target audience with cheap and limited notebooks.
Remember that in
certain places the fact Chromebooks have a good market share, especially among
students and professionals who do not intend to spend much on a notebook just
to edit text documents, spreadsheets and other similar files. Because of this, other manufacturers
had to chase the lost time and launch more direct competitors for this as low
cost range, and speculated that even Microsoft itself can invest in a
"cheap" version of its recently announced Surface Book.
As there is no way of
knowing what goes on internally at Google, it remains only to give as true to
say Lockheimer and we close it, believing that the company will actually invest
more to bring advantages to Chrome OS and cause the system can appeal to a
wider range of users. If ever he
can really annoy Windows, we do not know, but it would certainly be interesting
seeing at least one operating system bother to Microsoft in the niche computer,
since for years we have a certain "monopoly" in this sector.
And I, would like to
use a Chromebook? Believes that
Chrome OS really has the potential to reach the level of Windows or think it
will remain just "a laptop that only has Chrome"? Give us your comment below!
