Google will have a thriving desktop platform built on top of the platforms created by others

Authored by: SilverWave on Friday, May 24 2013 @ 04:54 AM EDT

Quote: Bear in mind the apps in this vision will be truly cross-platform as they’ll run on any Windows, Mac or Linux computer with Chrome installed. If it can get developers on board — and those I spoke with at Google I/O are ready to embrace the effort — Google will have a thriving desktop platform built on top of the platforms created by others. But it will be a desktop that’s far more agile, with new features added within days or weeks, not months or years.

We knew this was coming and it would have gotten here much sooner had Microsoft
not killed Netscape.

Typical Microsoft, keeping computing advancements 20 years behind where they
should have been.
