Network World: "Google co-founder Sergey Brin said Windows and other traditional PC operating systems are "torturing users" at Google's Chrome OS launch event Wednesday, where the company claimed 75% of business users can be converted from Windows to Chrome OS right away.
Google is partnering with Samsung and Acer to ship laptops based on Google's browser-turned-operating-syste m on June 15, it was announced at the Google I/O conference. In a briefing with reporters afterward, Brin was asked how many Google employees still use Windows. As a rough guess, he said it's about 20%. The rest must use Macs or Linux. But by next year, Brin hopes the vast majority of Googlers will be doing their work on Chrome OS."
One of the things in short supply during the pandemic is computer hardware. Everything from PC components and Macs to Chromebooks has been scarce, but what if you could turn an aging computer you already own into a Chromebook?
The company will also bring an update for Chrome OS-powered laptops in March 2021, along with the epic list of Chromebook's features
The bulk of these features could arrive as early as next month, with the most prominent arguably being the new built-in screen recording feature.
