<div>Microsoft has been aggressively pushing out its services and trying to put a Windows PC in every household. In the recent past the company changed its strategy and implemented affordable ways of selling Windows by announcing low cost tablets and notebooks. </div><div> </div><div>Microsoft along with Intel had also announced a small thumb drive sized device that turns any display with an HDMI port into a full-fledged Windows PC. This concept is one of the simplest ways of getting your hands onto a Windows device at just $149 (Rs. 9,200 approx). The aggressiveness is probably due to the fact that along with Apple’s Mac OS, the company has another competitor, Google’s Chrome OS.</div><div> </div><div>Google has been making progress with Chrome OS and since it doesn't require high-end hardware, the company has taken a step further and announced its own little computer on a stick called the ‘Chromebit’ which is being made by Asus. "Smaller than a candy bar, the Chromebit is a full computer that will be available for less than $100 (Rs. 6,200 approx). By simply plugging this device into any display, you can turn it into a computer. It's the perfect upgrade for an existing desktop and will be really useful for schools and businesses,” said Google. Along with this, it also announced two of its lowest priced Chromebooks which will be made by Chinese vendors Haier and Hisense at just $149 (Rs. 9,200 approx).</div><div> </div><div>So does this make Google in a better position? Certainly not. While Chrome OS is gaining popularity, it still needs to be accepted globally. Windows has been around for more than two decades and almost every second PC in the world runs on Windows. Chrome OS still has a long way to go, however it does have the capability to grab a large market share in the near future.</div><div> </div>
