Author: So it’s been a while now since Google have released (..sort of) it’s operating system, Chrome OS on us.
I think its the 1st step in a series of very important shifts in how we use computers in general. People have been talking about Cloud computing for what seems like an age, but Chrome OS is the 1st real attempt at making it a viable solution.
Of course, I doubt we will ever really get rid of a need for installed software, but the fact that Google believes that its both technically possible and in some cases an advantage to have all your programs running off a remote server shows that its a very real possibility that we will start having to pay monthly subscriptions to use web-based office suites. Scary thought..
