Google Chrome Operating System announcement has shaken up the entire blogosphere, even though what it aims to achieve with its OS is already being done by many currently available netbook operating systems with varying degrees of success. My opinion is you can’t win the operating system war on web applications alone, you need both client and web apps in an OS. Google thinks otherwise. Why would you want to launch a browser just to access Windows Live Messenger or Skype?
Google Chrome OS will be available in 2010, but till then you can try out these many wonderful alternatives available that provide you quick access to web destinations as well as native apps.

Microsoft Vine is the Redmond Giant’s take on Twitter. It’s actually more focused on the real time web and happenings rather than starting conversations as in Twitter. Vine will be used to stay in touch, informed and involved when it matters. It comes with its own slick looking desktop app, based on WPF.
