As of last week: Google is unrolling a Free PC operating system to rival Microsoft … Call it a touche’ to Microsoft’s recent attempt to tread on Google’s search engine turf with Bing. (Want to compare Bing vs. Google search engine results side-by-side? Check out http://bing-vs-google.com/)
Google pretty much much owns search engine land, but it only recently made a dent in the internet browser field with Chrome and it’s slight and simple
Office-like suite. The operating system, incidentally, will also be named Chrome, according to news reports.
Google made this last announcement a month after Microsoft launched Bing, its first search engine.
Chrome OS will be available in the second half of 2010.
Google is working with Acer, Asustek, Hewlett-Packard, Lenovo, Qualcomm and Texas Instruments on the project.
