Google is trying to face down the Goliath of PC's, Microsoft with its new net book friendly operating system based on the new Chrome browser.
Currently many net books run on the open source Linux Operating System. But consumers find that OS too confusing and labor intensive when it comes to trying to connect devices.
According to the CNN story Google's new operating system must:
"...be under pressure to ensure Chrome OS works flawlessly with gadgets such as cameras, printers, smartphones and e-book readers. So far, Linux netbooks have had a spotty record. Some such as Ubuntu or Red Hat offer better support for popular gadgets but still users have faced compatibility problems. A recent review from the Wall Street Journal complained that Linux-based netbooks could not load software drivers to print photos to Canon and Dell printers. The review also said there were problems loading pictures over a USB cable from the Canon PowerShot SD750 digital camera onto a Dell Mini 10 netbook running Ubuntu."
