Eric Schmidt on the development to its Chrome OS.

Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google says closing launches Chrome OS last week. This is important because Schmidt served as CTO of Sun's share ideas and NC (Network Computer) on 1997, which ended with failure. Return of the NC concept with Chrome OS it is very interesting.
Listen to the full presentation. In video clips of YouTube.

Schmidt said that the launch of Chrome OS is on one of the most important day of his working life. Because it demonstrates the development of computer science that can change. Lives of the people. It is amazing that the computer has become complex. Chrome / Chrome OS that is easy for anyone.
By 1983, he worked at Sun. And 3M introduced which means that 1 megapixel, 1 megahertz range is 1 megabit and his team have done a wireless computer disk. This is a new idea at that time.
Schmidt talks about the emergence of the Web. In the beginning there was just as "information" but not a cloud computing later in the year 1997, it launched Oracle Network Computer, which is the same thing Google offered in Chrome OS.
Schmidt tell you why the NC has failed, he said that NC was a computer problem look too complicated. But can not create applications with Web technologies of the period. Can not compete with applications created with Win32, OLE on the PC (including Mac).
But Chrome OS is different for several reasons. First, the past 15 years of Moore's law allows the computer and 1,000 times stronger network also has a technology that makes AJAX web applications like Gmail has finally happened LAMP technologies that have encouraged me in the background.
Schmidt said that these factors have resulted in Chrome happen inevitable and Sergey Brin and Larry Page have an idea precedes him in this matter. Both argue that the need to create a browser and operating system when Schmidt does not allow both of them secretly to hire engineers to work with Firefox Google. Which finally became a team developing Chrome.
Schmidt told the world that we move from the disk in a reliable and unreliable network. A global network reliable and does not have the disk anymore and HTML5 to create full web applications occur.
Google Chrome OS offers a third alternative than Windows and Mac. This is the way computer scientists saw 20 years ago, but are not true. When developers try to Cr-48 will begin to see its potential. And realize that this is only the beginning of a new era.
