However, there could soon be a new contender, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/news\/828595\/google-aluminium-os-android-pc-chromeos-ai\" target=\"_blank\">with Google stepping up to the plate (via The Verge).<\/a><\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ve probably used Google\u2019s operating systems before. Android holds a dominant market share in the smartphone space, and ChromeOS is readily available on a large range of notebooks intended for lightweight tasks. Going forward, it appears Google aims to leverage its experience with these products and merge them into something new under the working title of \u201cAluminium OS.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The news comes to us <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/aluminium-os-android-for-pcs-3619092\/\" target=\"_blank\">via a job listing<\/a>, which sought a Senior Product Manager to work on a \u201cnew Aluminium, Android-based, operating system.\u201d The hint is in the name\u2014with speculation that the -ium part of Aluminium indicates its relationship to Chromium, the open-source version of Chrome. The listing also indicated that the new OS would have \u201cArtificial Intelligence (AI) at the core.\u201d At this stage, it appears Google will target everything from cheaper entry level hardware to mid-market and premium machines.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s early days yet, and there\u2019s no word as to when Google might speak more officiously on the topic of its new operating system. It\u2019s a big move from one of the largest tech companies out there. Even still, it will be a tall order for Google to knock off the stalwart offerings from Microsoft and Apple in any meaningful way.
