If you are still using Windows XP, then you need to realise that all the Microsoft support services for XP – the XP support website, the Windows support number phone-lines, etc – have officially expired. Now, Microsoft wants you and all the other Windows XP users to upgrade to one of their latest Windows operating systems, preferably Windows 8.
Google presents Chrome OS as an alternative to the XP OS
So, it is no longer practical or safe to use Windows XP OS in your systems, especially if you are running an organisation or a business. However, upgrading to Windows 8 or 7 from Windows XP is going to very expensive, as you would have to upgrade all the old hardware to meet the system requirements of the new generation operating systems.
So, naturally, most of the XP users are hesitating to make this upgrade. Now, Google sees an opportunity here and they are trying to lure in as many XP users as they can in to buying their Google Chrome OS systems. They are doing this by offering big discounts of $ 100-200 on Chromebook purchases.
About the Chrome OS
Now, you might not be familiar with the Chrome OS from Google. Google released the Chrome OS back in 2009. But, this OS did not make that much of an impact in the market because of the fact that it was more of a browser-based web client OS, rather than a full-fledged OS. This means that the Chrome OS would provide access to a variety of applications and programs, all stored in the online cloud.
So, if you do not have an internet connection, the Chrome OS would become almost useless. This disadvantage was the main reasons why Google Chrome OS did not do well in the market. However, the idea of cloud computing is becoming very popular these days.
Many corporate houses are actually considering subscribing to the software-as-a-service and infrastructure-as-a-service cloud services, instead of setting up the IT infrastructure and purchasing software applications for their organisation. A browser-based OS that provides most of its applications through the online cloud service might actually be a good option for these firms.
With this in mind, Google has introduced the Chromebooks for Business program, mainly targeting the Windows XP users. Under this program, the business switching to Chromebooks would receive up to 200$ in discounts as well as many free software applications and services.
But, if you want to upgrade to a Windows operating system instead, contact the Windows support number.
