Google has broken walls and created a foundation with it's innovations, allowing itself to not only become number one in the search category, but one of the best email services available, with Gmail. They since developed "Gears", which is an "active" production wheel of services that keep Google products adapting to your operating system.
Some knew this was a prequel to the future, and their beliefs were proven true when Google unveiled the mighty Google Chrome browser, which has become a powerhouse in competing with the number one ranked Mozilla Firefox, and the original Internet Explorer from Microsoft.
Google did not stop there. Google for the last year, have been implementing "Android" Google based "mobile operating systems" into cell phones, and have claimed a huge amount of market share in the ever growing handheld/mobile industry. Google had claimed it's throne as the "king of kings" in the online and multimedia categories.
Google though, had been planning something greater, the highly anticipated Google operating system for personal computers, which has still yet to reach the markets. It promised a linux-based engine, which would of course slaughter Microsoft Windows in performance. That day of reckoning is near, where as next week the Google OS will finally be revealed. Google busts out yet again, with a new force, but none are sure of how compatible it will be.
None the less, this new OS, will be another breakthrough for the powerhouse ran by Eric Schmidt, which many expect to be a huge success. Although there are doubters, many claim that drivers necessary for a smooth running platform OS will not be available immediately. Only time will tell.
The code-named "Chrome OS" is slated for the first public release next week, even though some analysts claim it will be pushed back. The future succession of the OS is yet to be seen, as Linux based operating systems and open source platforms have been available for a very long time, free of charge, and have yet to hold a firm grip upon the market.
Microsoft dominates, clearly in the world of operating systems, but, another brand of competition, let alone a financial giant such as Google, could prove to be a challenge for Microsoft. We shall all see soon.
