Google Chrome Poses Challenge to Windows

Google demonstrated an early version of its Chrome operating system at
its Mountain View, California, headquarters on Thursday. The new
system, scheduled to release in about a year, is expected to challenge
Microsoft’s Windows, which currently powers most personal computers,
the New York Times reported.
Google’s Chrome aims to shift users toward its version of “cloud
computing,” a model in which programs are not installed on a PC but
rather are used over the Internet and accessed with a Web browser,
according to the Times. With Chrome, a user’s data will reside on
servers across the Internet, rather than on their PC.
While Microsoft (MSFT) and other say they believe that cloud-based
programs will coexist with traditional PC software, Google has said
that Web applications will replace all desktop software, reported the
Times.
In a statement, Microsoft said that its customers are voicing approval
of how the new Windows 7 works across the Web and on the desktop, and
the operating system is outselling all previous versions.
GOOG is a Cabot Top Ten Report stock and MDFT is a Cabot Benjamin Graham Value Letter stock.
