Announced this week VMware will fully support Google Chrome OS in H2 2010 when released by Google.
"VMware will welcome Google Chrome OS to the family of desktop OSes as another choice for running specialised applications when it's available," said Raj Mallempati, VMware group product manager.
Nobody can speculate what impact Google Chrome OS will have on the Microsoft dominance of the desktop, but one thing is certain you can bet the other hypervisor providers will support it also.
As we highlighted in an earlier blog posting this could be very interesting for the VDI world and the mass hype around Cloud/SaaS. Compared to alternative operating systems Chrome is reported to be more lightweight allowing providers to support potentially millions of users, it also has very little to concern the end user about licenses which can only be a good thing.
So not too much to write about here, but thought it should be of interest now we have the heavyweight of Virtualisation supporting it.
As if the VDI space wasn't already massively talked about, this should be an interesting time!!
