By now, you may have heard Google's announcement of its own operating system, titled "Chrome."
Chrome was announced the first week of July, and is said to potentially be a "Microsoft killer." In essence, Chrome will be a Web-based operating system, accessible through any computer that connects to the Internet. Its target focus will be netbooks - small, inexpensive laptop-like computers that connect to the Internet, but don't offer much in way of storage. CNNMoney.com took a closer look at Chrome here.
News about any of Google's developments is worth taking a look at, particularly if you're in the real estate industry. While Google has targeted Microsoft's niche in operating systems, Microsoft is trying to step on Google's search engine turf with Bing.
The rivalry between the two companies is guaranteed to have a major impact on how we utilize everyday technology. Will laptops turn to netbooks, with consumers accessing all their files through a small device used solely to connect to the Internet? Will Bing be a major search engine in the real estate market?
I'll keep updates with the progression of both companies as developments come along.
