The highlight of the Day Two keynote (video) was the launch announcement of the Google Chromebook. In June the Chromebook -- a netbook with cloud-based applications built specifically for the enterprise and education -- will hit the streets, with Samsung and Acer as partners. The Chromebooks will be available to businesses for $28 per user per month and to educational institutes for $20 per user per month.
The Google Chrome Book is making headlines with it’s simplicity. This may be the first desktop with a legitimate offering to replace Microsoft’s stronghold on schools, business, and enterprise computing. The Chrome Book loads directly into a web browser. The days of the desktop, as Google believes, is numbered.
