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.
