Google Chrome OS
After a long period of silence as to what Google Chrome OS is concerned, Sunsar Pichai, vice president of product management at Google, has broken the silence. In the context of Computex Taipei mega Shanghai, Sundar said that Google is "excited about the project" and expect to "reach millions of users on the first day of launch."
It really has generated a whole mystique around the Chrome OS, since the disappearance for several days of public debate, many journalists and users believe that the project had been on the night of nothingness.
The Chrome OS project is simple but not that pretty suggestive. The idea was betting on Google to launch an operating system for netbooks, which is not surprising if we think that the sale of these has plummeted with the launch of the Apple iPhone. Perhaps, background, is the goal of reversing this business, giving new impetus to the nice ultraportable.
While more than 70 million people have downloaded on their computers the Chrome browser, so you could deduce that the new Google operating system will have a great reception by the public, the truth is that, having seen the videos circulating advertising on the Internet and not have to wait for the comments of discontent and suspicion.

Netbook: the gateway to new processors
We have a time hearing about the possibility of netbook laptops equipped with ARM processors, but have not yet reached the market. The rumors are many and predict the end of 2009 already exist some model to buy.
Several comments in forums and discussion threads in which some Internet users show their displeasure over the domain i386 in domestic consumer landscape. It is almost impossible to buy a new computer regardless of Intel or AMD, and this omnipresence bothers many.
In any case, driven by psychological or practical reasons, in 2010 you can go buy a computer with ARM. But the thing is not there, it is known that there is a working group being ported Android to MIPS vision to be incorporated into high-end phones or laptops.
Looking back the past computers to the masses who did not use the x86 architecture were the Apple Mac, which until 2005 used PowerPC. Obviously a very advanced architecture, but it also meant an extra attractive in some cases exclusively.
At this point, it seems interesting to ask as you see the arrival of new processors for the consumer market.
Can you say that escogeríais these alternatives for practical reasons?
You have any specific model in mind ...
First laptop with Android and ARM

Skytone Alpha 680
It is rumored priced at $ 250 , and although there is a very powerful machine, it is also true that an operating system designed for mobile phones should consume very few resources.
Reduced version of Windows 7 for netbooks?
We learned from Slashdot that Microsoft intends to create a cropped version of Windows 7 for the "less powerful netbooks" that would only have 3 applications open simultaneously. We do not know if it's a version with some different requirements, resource consumption than the other versions provide, or if there will be much price difference with the version without limitation. According to a study by the company, the "normal" users of their systems has opened an average of 2 applications at once, so the limit of three is reasonable for them.
Jolicloud, a new operating system for netbooks
Joliclouud is a new operating system based on GNU / Linux computers designed for ultraportables. Those who discarded this alternative no longer have an excuse, because it has a user interface optimized for the screen so small (in some cases 6 ").
It is created by Tariq Krim Certainly seems more interesting and if you have the speed you are supposed to be, with the boom of netbooks will be a guaranteed success.
They also highlight the application icons that, as in most operating systems designed for notebooks stand out for their large size to make life easier for the user of teams that usually have very small screens.

Steve Ballmer says Vista has no place in Netbooks
It seems that Steve Ballmer (Microsoft CEO) has granted an interview with CNET, where we can find some interesting answers such as in the saying that Windows Vista has no place in the market for Netbooks, but they are doing their best to Windows 7 does have one. Today do not know if Windows 7 is very different to Vista though the recently released beta does not feel that the new system has changed significantly and therefore unlikely to have relevance in the world of netbooks.
