What I liked
- Looks like strong multitasking with many windows and tabbed mode
- Zircon microkernel scales from PCs to tiny devices
- Could make smart home devices independent of hubs and apps
- Runs on everything from phones to fridges
- Built with updates in mind
- Could give Google control over software experience
What I didn't
- Still an early experiment
- Not intended to replace Android
- Not replacing Android in the next couple of years
- Needs Android apps to run on it
In my words
Straight from the video. Tap a timestamp to hear me say it.
“having seen what I've seen recently I'm starting to doubt that notion at least for the next five years”
“it is an OS that could work on anything whether it's as powerful as your desktop PC to as low powered as your toothbrush”
“definitely not in the next couple of years but Google has dedicated enough resources to this project”
“one operating system for everything”
Every time I covered it
