New Ware [dot] Info

I was never a big fan of Windows Live OneCare, so I shed no tears when Microsoft announced its demise last November. The company promised to replace it with a lightweight free solution wholly dedicated to consumer anti-malware protection. That solution, formerly known by the cool code name “Morro,” is now available for public beta testing as Microsoft Security Essentials. (Microsoft expects business users at all levels to rely on Microsoft Forefront instead, but both products use the same anti-malware engine and signatures.) On my tests, its malware protection proved okay, but not outstanding—just like OneCare’s.

The download is pretty small (about 7MB), and the installation is fast. But the mandatory download of updated signatures tried my patience: It took anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes. Also, the full installation occupied over 110MB of disk space, which isn’t exactly lightweight compared with the 7MB required by Hitman Pro 3.5. Read the rest of this entry »

It’s been an exciting nine months since we launched the Google Chrome browser. Already, over 30 million people use it regularly. We designed Google Chrome for people who live on the web — searching for information, checking email, catching up on the news, shopping or just staying in touch with friends. However, the operating systems that browsers run on were designed in an era where there was no web. So today, we’re announcing a new project that’s a natural extension of Google Chrome — the Google Chrome Operating System. It’s our attempt to re-think what operating systems should be.

Google Chrome OS is an open source, lightweight operating system that will initially be targeted at netbooks. Later this year we will open-source its code, and netbooks running Google Chrome OS will be available for consumers in the second half of 2010. Because we’re already talking to partners about the project, and we’ll soon be working with the open source community, we wanted to share our vision now so everyone understands what we are trying to achieve.
