Google has called the development of Chrome its “big bet” for the future.

The search firm sees the software, in both browser and the operating system versions, as leading a major shift in how computers will be used.

The OS was inspired by the growing popularity of low-cost low-power netbooks and is targeted at users who spend most of their computer time on the internet.

Google’s vision is one where users access everything from e-mail to photos and spreadsheets to documents via the cloud.

Industry watchers have said Chrome is clearly meant as a threat to Microsoft which makes the bulk of its profits from selling its OS and Office software for use on desktop PCs.

“This is as big as they come,” said Linus Epson, vice president of engineering for Chrome.

“Windows and Mac have dominated the OS landscape for a long, long time,” he said. “Lots of people have tried and not succeeded so this is a once in a working career type of opportunity and problem to go after.”

For Sundar Pichai, head of Chrome development, Google’s aim is to shake up the industry.

“If you came from outer space you wouldn’t design the computer the way it is today,” he said.

“I think there is an opportunity to make computing much more delightful and simplified all the way from an advanced to a novice user. That is where the opportunity is and that is where the gauntlet gets thrown down.

“We wouldn’t be doing anything if we didn’t believe we could change the computing landscape,” said Mr Pichai.
