Google Chrome OS after July

Chrome OS is built on top of the Ubuntu Linux distribution, but uses a completely custom user interface based on Google's Chrome Web browser.

The official launch of Chrome OS has some significant ramifications. It will push Google into the platform market, where the company will compete with rival Microsoft. Like other Linux-based platforms, Chrome OS will be available for free, allowing hardware vendors to avoid licensing costs.

Browser Market:May 2010

As of April, fewer than 6 out of 10 people use Internet Explorer. The browser trends that we've noted over the past several months are continuing with no sign of alteration: IE continues to slip, Firefox and Opera are fairly static, Safari is very slowly moving forward, and Chrome is pushing ahead at breakneck speeds. If we take a closer look at IE, though, we see that version 8 of Microsoft's browser is actually growing faster than Chrome, but it's still not enough to counter the overall decaying of IE.

During May, only Internet Explorer and Firefox failed to show positive growth.
