Real Competitor of Google Chrome OS Is NOT Microsoft Windows but Ubuntu

Date July 24, 2009

By this time, everyone knows that Google’s announcement to roll out their own operating system that will compete with Microsoft Windows head on.

Unlike Windows, Google Chrome OS will be open source and doest not cost anything for people to use. However, the real competitor is not Microsoft Windows. What is it?

It is Ubuntu which is both free and open source already. In fact, I am using it right now to write this post. It is the most popular computer OS in Europe and southeast Asia.

Just learned that Google Chrome OS will use Linux as the core, but Ubuntu started that way right from the beginning and is gaining momentum as the most user-friendly Linux desktop system.

We will see how the battle proceeds from here.
