There is no doubt that we live our lives in the clouds, more than ever, especially with email. Google is largely responsible for that, despite the “cloud computing” is in some form since the early days of the postal services of Microsoft and Yahoo!
With Windows 7, there is another trend in the direction of the cloud, but incredibly thin, with the elimination of programs such as Windows Mail, and with programs like Live Photo Gallery offers Internet publishing options.
Google Chrome OS, some say, the death of “traditional” operating system. That is, in essence, will never be the same.
I do not agree, and not merely pedantic. It is an idealistic dream to keep all our photos and files, in the clouds, so we have direct access to them than we are.
But the simple fact is that people still store their images on your PC, and only for services such as Facebook and Flickr to share the “best option” and that Google Docs is not more popular is the proof of the simple fact that the infrastructure is still not good enough and not for some years.
People do not trust that they are capable of forming a stable Internet connection or a connection to all that when they need it. You have direct access to their records, and now is the best way to ensure they are on their hard drives.
Wi-Max is a great effort for this, but a mass deployment of this new technology is ideal for a number of years away.
The impact on Microsoft Windows and 8 are great. I do not think that Google is to Microsoft computers of millions of users a day quickly, despite the fact that many PC manufacturers have already said they are happy to send computers with operating system pre-installed Chrome, you can view the full article here. In any case, the Linux systems are the most affected.
However, we can expect from Microsoft for the clustering of its cloud-based systems and prototypes (which is long enough, let’s be honest) and get ready to stay at Google. If they do not in big trouble.
