Google partners with Ubuntu for Google Chrome OS
November 24, 2009
Pretty Crazy stuff, this might be the strongest alliance and biggest threat to Windows as the default desktop if this continues to proceed as planned. Google has partnered with Canonical the makers of Ubuntu according to a PC world report and this is going to be the biggest threat to Microsoft Advertising Agency Crispin, Porter + Bogusky.
Those “I’m a PC ads” aren’t going to hold water against that onslaught. Ubuntu is one of the most refined linux desktops every seen by mankind… and Ubuntu developers are working to make sure that Google Chrome will work… couple that with the Massive Muscle from the worlds largest advertising agency (That’s Google) and you have a nightmare that Microsoft will most likely see as an extreme threat.
What Google views as the future is wildly differing than what Microsoft does … it’s akin to the 1980′s on what Microsoft viewed as the desktop vs IBM.
Google feels that 99% of the people just use their computer to get online… hence Google OS / Chrome OS will allow them to get online, check their e-mail, go watch movies on Hulu, buy stuff on Amazon.com and update their facebook and use Google Docs for wordprocessing..
Whereas Microsoft feels that everyone wants to store everything on their local machine.. where it cant’ be reached from another machine.. and where people are happy to fork over hundreds of dollars for Microsoft Office and love to use non-standard compliant IE as their browser.
This is going to be one hell of a battle, mostly because we feel that the overall cost of marketing and advertising will be MUCH lower for Google than for Microsoft…. mostly because 1 text link on Google’s homepage is worth more than all the advertising ad agency Crispin, Porter + Bogusky could muster in a decade.
What’s at stake? Basically the future of computing… is it your desktop or the internet.. what do you view as more important… or better said.. if you had an “internet machine” that was half the cost of your normal computer… would you go for that option…
