“Google has been working for over two years at PC version of Android ‘- Techzine

According to several American media, Google is still trying to Android to conquer the PC market. A challenge and before the operating system must be substantially overhauled, Google was already more than two weeks of years to the PC version of Android.

Google itself has been said in the past that it sees a future where Android and Chrome OS will be merged. Later took it away from that statement and said that was not a good idea anymore. According to US media continues Chrome OS than simply exist, but Google is simply its focus on Android. Chrome OS will thus remain in the background there.

Google could work together next year with several manufacturers to develop PCs with Android operating system. Whether these systems even though next year appear on the market is unclear. We are especially curious if Google goes in failing to adapt Android so that the touchscreen is not mandatory, if we have learned anything from Microsoft and Windows 8 is that a touchscreen is a minimal addition to a traditional PC and users all through the mouse and want to use keypad.

In the end, Google now puts the pressure on Windows 10 and that in itself is not surprising. The company has 1.4 billion Android users, it’s much smarter to try Android to conquer the PC market than with Chrome OS. This year, an estimated 8 million sold about Chromebooks, while hundreds of millions of Android phones are sold.

Obstacles

However, there are still a lot of problems and obstacles must take before Google can be successful with Android on the PC market. If Google really wants to make a serious effort and high-end systems and hardware will offer, there will be an extensive driver model should be introduced. The biggest problem is the security of the operating system. This past year there are the necessary security vulnerabilities found in Android which systems are taking over, and data can be captured easily. Patching these leaks is something that Google does so active, but the manufacturers to make the updates are not alone. Thereby book Android is becoming more like an insecure operating system, something which companies will surely stop to exchange their Windows systems for Android.

Google can of course choose to by really big structural changes introduce Android, For example, the ways in which Android is to adjust what to restrict and record the update process on the shovel so much faster and more often updates itself can roll out to Android devices. We have recently published a very firm blog about the security of Android Techzine.

For the PC market may in any case no harm if a bit more excitement coming into the market, Windows has long been very dominant and Mac OS continues to play a minor role. Android market can be a little shake. In addition, Microsoft may also positively affect that company has a fair amount of damage to reputation suffered with Windows 8 and is not always appreciated. However, it is not easy to develop a control system that can handle as well as many different hardware. If Google against those problems to go running Windows people may appreciate it more.
