What is Chrome OS?

Chrome OS (based on Chromium OS) is Google's desktop operating system. The objective is to take you straight from turning on your computer to the web. In order to do this, they run only the web browser as the operating system and the only extra tools that you may have are your extensions available in the Chrome Web Store. You can also easily install apps from the Chrome Web Store and apps can help you with your productive life. The systems are also less prone to viruses as most virus developers target more popular markets such as Windows and Mac. They also help you discover how much you can live without using apps other than your browser on your PC. The average user only uses the browser and sometimes their productivity suite which can easily be replaced by Google Docs. Another benefit of Chrome OS Machines is that because everything is in the cloud, even if something breaks or you lose your hardware you don't lose your data permanently because it will automatically sync when you log onto your new Chrome device.You can also use the Remote Desktop feature to work on your PC while you are on the go, which is a very helpful feature. Overall, Chrome OS is a great secondary operating system as it doesn't pack the power and advanced programs that current computers have, however we feel in the future it will take off because of the recent success in cloud computing.
