While it remains to be seen how well Google’s recently announced Chrome operating system (OS) compares alongside Microsoft’s dominant Windows platform, heavyweight support from chipmaker Intel Corp. should certainly help bolster its chances.
More pointedly, PC World reports that a spokesman for Santa Clara-based Intel has this week confirmed that the world’s largest chip manufacturer is working alongside Google in developing the Chrome OS for recession-friendly, ultra portable Netbook computers.
“We work with Google on a variety of project, including elements of this one,” said Intel representative Nick Jacobs. “We’ve been privy to the project for some time.”
The Chrome OS was officially revealed via a Google blog post earlier in the week, with the search giant outlining a selection of notable partners contributing towards the realisation of a competitive new operating platform.
Interestingly, Intel was not named in said blog post alongside the likes of major industry players such as Acer, Freescale Semiconductor, Hewlett-Packard (HP), Lenovo, Qualcomm and Texas Instruments.
