If you paid any attention to technology news this week, you’ve probably noticed that Google has announced that they were going to release an operating system intially geared at netbooks next year. Its currently being called the Google Chrome OS. Since Google is the 800 pound gorilla of the internet, it got a lot of news coverage. From a practical standpoint for small business however, it’s really not that important, it’s going to be year until it’s out, and we won’t really know what effect it will have on business until then.  So just ignore the hype.

On the other hand Google made another announcement this week, one that didn’t get the same media coverage as the Chrome OS announcement but was much more important: Google is moving Google Apps (mail,docs, etc) out of beta. (Beta is the software term for a final test version) This means that Google has reiterated its commitment to these web based applications and users who want to can adopt them and cloud/web based computing with more confidence.
