Google says the Cloud is our future
Google believes the arrival of Chrome OS heralds nothing less than a brave new world in which Windows and OSX-based machines have little future.
"[Of course], I think [such a scenario] depends on the user and the user's behavior. In the long term and the fullness of time [though], absolutely," Google product management director Caesar Sengupta told SearchEngineLand.
"[And yes], I think we will have failed if this [Cloud] doesn't become your default way of computing." According to Sengupta, hundreds of millions of users already are comfortable with "living" on the Web. "[So], for many of these users, [Chrome OS systems like Cr-48] will replace their machines immediately, especially as web apps get better," he said.
