Смысл: The author argues that the true purpose of Google Chrome is to establish a dominant platform for web applications, effectively bypassing traditional operating systems and shifting software dependency from Microsoft to Google.
Google Chrome's real revolution is transforming the browser into a cross-platform application environment to shift user dependency from OS-native software to web services.
Смысл: The main idea is that Google OS, supported by browser-based technologies like Native Client and Google Wave, is poised to break Microsoft's OS monopoly by making traditional desktop software obsolete and offering a free, efficient cloud-based alternative.
The author predicts that Google OS will replace Windows as the dominant operating system within a few years by shifting the computing paradigm to the browser.
Смысл: The author argues that Chrome OS is not a real operating system but a browser masquerading as one, representing a dangerous trend toward total dependence on cloud services and the loss of local digital autonomy.
The author tries Chrome OS and concludes it is just a rebranded Chrome browser that strips users of local control in favor of total Google cloud dependency.
