With operating systems, it’s not uncommon to have different versions of an OS, each having unique features that may benefit one user group over another. Microsoft is well known for doing this with their OS, creating a home version, enterprise version and a variety of other flavors in between to accommodate their user base.
Version one of Google Chrome OS isn’t even officially out yet, but the word from the RSA Conference held recently points to Google [GOOG] developing a Business Edition of Google Chrome, which will be in addition to their “Home Edition”.
The Business Edition is not expected to launch any earlier then 2011 and will be for netbooks only, at least at the time of launch. Few details are available about the new Google OS other then the presence of additional security features and “more management muscle”, which are features one would expect in a professional operating system.
Google Chrome Business Edition has a long way to go before it poses a serious challenge to Windows 7 Professional, but this is the starting point from which to build and develop.
