Bye bye Windows?
Creativity, Science & Technology — POSTED BY Joe Murray on December 10, 2009 at 4:03 pmGoogle finally made its browser, Chrome, available for Mac earlier this week. So far it’s pretty unremarkable, if anything a little faster than Firefox, but who cares?
Well… Microsoft, that’s who. And here’s why.
Everyone’s probably familiar with Microsoft’s recently revamped, re-branded search engine, Bing. Google has long been the king of search, and Bing is Microsoft’s way of trying to eat into their dominance. But less than 10% of people in the US use it, and that figure isn’t growing rapidly.
But just as Microsoft are eating into Google’s share of Search, in Google Chrome OS , which is Chrome’s bigger stronger little brother, Google have created a monster which they hope will end Microsoft’s dominance of the operating systems market. Which would mean, in short:
You won’t need Windows on your PC any more.
Bye Bye Windows… It sure was fun while it lasted.
Thoughts? Will a winner emerge in this clash of the titans? If you read this article please comment and help open up the debate.

That windows 95 commercial is fantastic!
That video’s amazing. You’ve been blabbing on about Google Chrome for so long and I’ve never understood what was so exciting until just now – I’m definitely backing Google, Microsoft should just throw in the towel…
