Google Chrome OS Review : 7 Different things that make the New OS Unique

Finally Search Giant has released the much hyped Google Chrome OS Source Code. Developers all over the world can dive into them to come up with more programs and ideas on improving it. According to Google their new operating system is far different from any other operating system available till now. The Chrome OS team has released a short 3 minute video which briefly explains how exactly it is different from the other operating systems. Here is a brief review of the google's New Operating system.


Here are

7 different things that make the Google OS Unique

The Browser Itself is the Interface :If you have used the Google Chrome browser before, you wont feel anything new when you first take a glimpse on the new operating system this is because the browser is the primary interface of the operating system. Unlike Windows, Mac and Linux you don't have a separate desktop, file explorer etc for Chrome OS. However you can open up multiple windows some thing like multiple desktops and switch between them is some what similar to the windows 7's Alt+Tab feature with the live preview.



Designed For Security: One of the main problem's faced by the computer users today, are the viruses, spywares etc. You need an antivirus software in operating systems like windows but in chrome os you dont need such a thing because the OS is designed for security. Each and Evey application you run are put in "security sandboxes" which is designed to resist viruses and malwares. Moreover the Chrome OS is intelligent enough to verify its own code and reboots the system and fix by itself, if it finds any issues with it.
The Operating system will be always upto date. It wont give you a choice to turn on/off automatic updates. The OS automatically updates itself when required.

Google Chrome OS Demo Video

Data Storage is in the Cloud: What ever you save in your Chrome Os is synced with the clouds. the advantage is that you can have your home pc any where any time. There wont be problems like backing up data, migrating user details etc. You will have every things as such as soon as you sync up your new pc. All of your data is secure and encrypted.



Forget the Slow BootUps: This is one are where most of the operating systems lags behind. When you want to quickly work with your pc you need to wait up for at least 30 seconds or more to start working with. Google has seriously take care of this issue and its is known that the Google Chrome Os can boot up blazing fast. They are so obsessed with it that they're asking the hardware manufacturers to use specific materials just for speeding things up.

Every Thing is the Web and No App Installations: This is some thing that can make many people hate it. There wont be any software installations like in the other operating systems. There wont be any Photoshop, Microsoft Office, Adobe AIR. Instead every thing will be web apps. However there will be support for plugin/extensions support like in the Chrome Browser.



Chrome OS is Free to Use (Open Source): Like the linux operating systems chrome os will be open source. People are free to modify the code to suit their requirements and for now they can contribute the submissions back to the project.

No More Driver Supports: According to Google the new os is going to support only specific platforms. No more moving parts will be used. That means it wont run on regular PC's with physical hard drives, it needs SSDs. There will be specific requirements like screen sizes, full sized keyboards, above average touchpads etc.

According to Google the new Os is expected to ship in about a year. The Google Chrome Os will be great for Netbooks but not for the desktops.

How To Upgrade Windows XP to Windows 7 Completely & Perfectly

There are some guides on the internet telling you how to Upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7. All these guides tell you how to upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7, but there is a limitation that you can't transfer the installed programs in windows xp to windows 7 and also some other settings too. Windows users might have been disappointed when it was known that there is no direct upgrade option available from Windows XP to Windows 7.

The users need to format the current Windows XP partition and install Windows 7 over it losing all settings and files in Windows XP or the users can install windows 7 on a different partition and dual boot Windows Xp and Windows 7.
There was one correct way to transfer all settings, files, installed applications, program data, documents etc. to windows 7 from windows xp, it was done by first upgrading windows xp to windows vista and then upgrading windows vista to windows 7. But it's a time eating process.
So other guides came up telling you to transfer windows xp to windows 7 using the migration wizard application in windows 7 DVD. Using migration wizard application users can transfer account settings, documents etc to windows 7 from windows xp but the program settings and installed programs wont work in windows 7 as the registry settings were not transferred. You need to manually reinstall all your programs installed in windows xp to Windows 7.

Windows users need not to worry as Laplink Software comes to compensate the shortcomings of Windows 7 in-place upgrades with PCmover. PCmover is capable of allowing end users to perform special "in-place" upgrades from XP to Windows 7.
According to Lap Link software,
PCmover is the ONLY migration utility that moves programs, files, and settings from your old PC to your new PC. Simply install PCmover on both your old and new computers and go! PCmover will determine which programs, files, and settings need to be moved, and when the transfer is complete, your new computer will have the personality and functionality of your old PC as well as all of its own pre-installed software. Works with almost any Windows operating system.

How to Use PC Mover to Upgrade From Windows XP to Windows 7

• Install PCmover on the Windows XP computer to be upgraded.


• Run PCmover and select the upgrade option.


• Install Windows 7, selecting the “do not reformat” option.


• Install and run PCmover which will automatically restore all applications, files, and
  settings.

Pc mover can move your Installed applications and their associated settings/registry entries, including any custom software, Microsoft Office, Design Programs, PC Games, Instant Messengers, Financial and Tax Software, Spreadsheets, Photos, Videos, Music, Podcasts, Desktop Backgrounds, Icons, Browser Settings, Favorites/Bookmarks, Internet & Network Settings from Windows XP or Windows Vista to Windows 7 easily. If your computer has multiple users, PCmover gives you the option to migrate some or all of the users at once. PC mover not only works for windows Xp, but also is designed to automatically migrate older Windows releases to Windows 7.

If you have 32-bit Vista and wish to upgrade to 64-bit Windows 7 in order to address more than four gigabytes of memory, that upgrade is not supported by Microsoft. PCmover properly handles all issues related to 32-bit and 64-bit upgrades and migrations.
However, this magical software is not a freeware. If your old settings and files are so important to you then you can buy PC mover.
Home users will be able to buy PCmover Home, with a price tag of under $40, but Laplink is also offering volume licenses to business customers, withPCmover Enterprise available for less than $10 per migration.
