Most of the speculations are circling around the reason for creating two different Google Operating Systems, competing against each other in Netbook sector. Few are arguing…

Knowing the fact that both Android and Chrome OS are built on top of Linux ,why couldn’t Google extend Android into Desktop OS market. Why Google want to recreate an OS after putting in so much of efforts into Android since late 2007 ?

There is nothing exciting in knowing that Android will be booting Netbooks as well. We reckon, it was a part of a long term planning by Google, much before Google Chrome OS was even conceptualised. Google’s Android Mobile OS was  supposedly planned to be a Universal OS, which would start off with Mobile handsets and extend upto desktops and laptops.

But Google might just realized that building an Universal OS (single OS for Handsets, laptops, netbooks, desktops) won’t be a realistic approach to cracking a monopolised Desktop OS industry. Android could well be a killer Mobile OS but building an OS for Desktops and Netbooks may require an enormous & dedicated efforts with tons of innovation from Google.

Not to forget what many android developers had been constantly admitting

Android platform has many known flaws and pitfalls as a Desktop OS and competing with Windows will almost be like a rock-climbing task without a rope for Android.

From another end, Google had started enjoying the huge and promising success of Google Chrome (it’s just over nine months since Google Chrome’s launch and there are already over 30 million loyal Chrome users),  and the idea of Web as operating platform, complimented by nascent but futuristic concepts such as Cloud computing and core Web based applications could have given birth to Google’s idea of building a Web browser centric OS.

This might be the reason why Google carved out Chrome centric OS, the Google Chrome OS, inspite of leading the development of Open source Mobile OS, Android.

Although Acer is scheduled to come up with a Dual OS Netbook carrying Android next month, it’s more than intuitive that Google will keep Android’s focus into Mobile OS sector only and take the tougher challenge of competing with Windows 7 with Google Chrome OS, starting from the Netbook industry.
