Remote Desktop Access through Google Chrome OS.
Google’s Chrome OS which is likely to arrive piggybacking on netbooks, will have a feature which is today available in Windows for accessing the other computers remotely. Tentatively and unofficially called “Chromating”, the term refers to accessing legacy applications through Google Chrome browser.Chrome OS will not only be great platform for running modern web apps, but will also enable one to access legacy PC applications right within the browser. Gary Kačmarčík posted the details about the open source project on the online message board on the Chromium Google Group.
Google’s approach to the computing is more friendly. While iPad has stopped using Flash plugin and instead opted for plugin free HTML5 . Google has opted to support Adobe Flash plugin and incorporated the same in Chrome browser. There have been arguments in support and against of what the computing world would be like once the cloud computing takes off in a big way. With focus shifting to everything being done on clouds, the new age PCs would be slimmed and stripped down versions, the thin client platforms.
The reason why netbooks and iPad are the hardware of the future, is not difficult for anybody to guess. With Microsoft moving to Web Apps in the recent release of Office 2010, it is understood even the desktop giant has realzed that the time for cloud computing to take the center stage has come.
Microsoft can only delay the inevitable. With Google Docs , Zoho already up there, it was time for Microsoft to make it presence felt in the browser based office productivity suite. Web Apps from Microsoft, may be only a stripped down version of real MS Office 2010 but definitely it can do what an average user would like to do with the office productivity suite.
Chrome OS which will hit the market in 2010 would surely give the desktop major something to think about.
