Google Chrome OS comes Under Fire from leaders in the industry (Search Engine Journal)

Google chrome OS has launched its pilot qualified testers pre-beta program. However, while Google enthusiasts around the world are practically drooling to get their hands on the Cr48, not everyone is a fan. Several industry technology leaders openly criticized the Google operating system.

Prominent free software advocate Richard Stallman warned that the OS would be a forfeiture of the data control. As indicated on the goalkeeper, Stallman said that Google's OS is bound to lead careless people "computer." Risks, says, include losing the legal rights of the data; While you must personally submit a mandate signed for anyone looking for the files on your computer, you may even not be aware that your data are requisitioned if it is stored in the cloud. "They can even not to give the company a search warrant," says Stallman. While he speaks against the cloud across, Stallman feelings have been clear for some time; Two years ago he said this over-using cloud computing was "worse than stupid."

Stallman privacy concerns extend beyond criticism of the new operating system from Google. He feared the popularity of the cloud will eventually eliminate equipment to control your own data.

However, it is not only a sceptic posed against the new system. Former when Paul Buchheit, a name associated with constantly Gmail (in the Buchheit project Google) also gives the system a less friendly prod. He predicted that "ChromeOS will be killed next year (or merged with Android)." Buchheit, this is not a question of security or access data, but redundant, because chrome OS and Android serve purposes remarkably similar but different platforms.

While early critics abound, testers are plugging away to the chromium OS and buyable are expected on the market in mid-2011.
