Google today anounced an open source mobile phone operating system.
I think it will take quite a while to make its mark, maybe 5 years or more. But I believe this is a great move by google.
It will kill MSFT OS's dead by eventually taking 70% of the market. It will no doubt be ported to the desktop/laptop (or the desktop/laptop market will cease to exist as we know it, morphed into phone tech).
The writing was on the wall 10 years ago for microsoft. IMO, in the future all operating sytems will be unix based, and this is MSFT's last stand.
MSFT do however have one last chance to remain dominant....write a Unix based OS themselves! But redmond are too thick to realize, and will cling on to their proprietary OS till the bitter end, OR until it is too late.
By my rekoning they have about two years to develop something to combat this onslaught, my bet is they dont have the balls to make such a radical change in business plan. = doom hahahahahahaaa
Oh and Apple? they will continue to take the high end 30% of the market, though I do think they may achive higher than this before the google train arrives.
Apple can survive through providing order within chaos. Applications will be much easier to port over from this new GOOG OS than with MSFT, and inter OS comunication will be relatively painless due to the more standards complient nature of the two operating systems that will inherit the earth.
