RE: "Why Google Should Cool It with Chrone OS"

Check out this blog posting at LatestToy.com: Why Google Should Cool It With Chrome OS. The author examines the theory behind using a web browser-based operating system and Google's offering that is "an OS that enables us to do less."

Here's why the writer thinks Phoenix's HyperSpace™ may be a better solution:

"For comparison, Phoenix Technologies offers a mini OS called HyperSpace, which some netbooks are already shipping with. HyperSpace runs parallel to Windows as an instant-on environment allowing netbooks to perform internet-centric functions without actually booting into Windows. Functions include multimedia players, browsers, internet telephony, e-mail and IM.

Sounds a lot like what Chrome OS is going to be, doesn’t it? That’s because it’s almost the same idea, only Phoenix Technologies is a lesser-known company (which developed the BIOS that boots many Windows computers today, by the way) and is taking a humbler approach — offering HyperSpace as an optional, complementary OS rather than a full-blown substitute for Windows. It’s an approach that could lead to greater results if embraced by an incredibly powerful brand like Google."
