You wouldn’t necessarily expect it, but Avast and Google Chrome might be the next peanut butter-and-jelly combo in the software world. Google’s nascent browser has paired with one of the most popular free security programs in the world so that when users run the Avast installer on a computer that has neither Chrome nor Avast, they’ll be offered a chance to install Chrome simultaneously. This is the first such bundling for Avast in its 21-year existence.

The Chrome option in the Avast installer does two things differently from the more familiar opt-out user experience that many programs provide in an installer in exchange for financial sponsorship. For one thing, the Chrome window only turns up if you don’t already have it installed, but more importantly, it forces users to actively choose installation. Neither the “yes, install” nor the “no, don’t install” radio buttons are checked by default. Of course, users are forced to check off “no” if they don’t want it, but this should dramatically cut down on the incidence of accidental installations that tend to plague otherwise-similar piggybacking installs.

The Avast/Chrome combo may strike some as an odd couple, or at least more beneficial for Avast than for Chrome, but keep in mind that Avast has more than double the users that Chrome does. Google’s Vice President of Product Management Sundar Pichai said Chrome had more than 40 million users at the Chrome OS press conference at the end of October, and the end of November saw NetApplications peg Chrome at 3.93 percent of the browser market, a 0.35 percentage point increase. Meanwhile, on Avast’s Web site, the Czech Republic-based security vendor is preparing to fly its 100 millionth user to Prague on an expenses-paid trip.

A Google spokesman indicated that other deals might be in the works. “Users’ response to Google Chrome has been outstanding, and we’re continuing to explore ways to make Chrome accessible to even more people. This could potentially include distribution via a number of channels, such as the distribution we are currently doing with Avast.”

Computer manufacturer Dell was getting interested in Chrome the operating system. Proved, they started trying to ‘play’ with Google’s operating system products are on the netbook Dell Mini 10V.

Through a posting on the blog, Dell Technology Strategist, Doug Anson explained that he and some friends were trying to run the OS on a netbook Chromium Dell Mini 10V.

“Without a network connection, Chromium OS unattractive. With a network connection, Chromium OS so bright,” said Anson.

Google plans Chrome for the consumer release next year as an operating system that is web sentric for netbooks.

However, a Google spokesman declined to comment on whether Dell is one of their partners. He merely asserts that Chrome is open source so that open to developers who are interested in tasting it.

In July, Google had said that CS Chrome team was working together with Acer, Adobe, ASUS, Freescale, HP, Lenovo, Qualcomm and Toshiba.

In the same month, Anson also released a statement that Dell plans to evaluate the Chrome OS, without explicitly mentioning whether they would adopt the operating system.

This week Google has launched an operating system based on open source called Chrome. This OS will soon be visited on the market next 2010 holiday season.

Unfortunately, Chrome the OS will only run on hardware that is no collaboration with Google. Of course, a suitable device is a netbook.

“Perhaps a suitable device is a netbook, which has a SSD, WiFi connectivity, and full size keyboard,” said Sundar Pichai, Google’s Vice President for product management.

Furthermore, Pichai disclose profits using Chrome 5 OS:

1. Fast Booting

Pichai said that Chrome the OS just like a TV when turned on. Not have a break a long boot time, because it has no local applications that limit the space for hardware.

2. Security Problems

OS is integrated with Chrome browser. Thus, the proper browser, this OS will automatically update the security system by default. This was compounded by the physical data storage in storage is now designed minimalist. Because all data can be stored online.

3. Supports X86 and ARM Architecture

Google promised to apply both X86 architecture, ARM and code-code Other popular netbook.

4. Menu Applications

A new web applications can now be found in the application menu in Chrome permanently this OS. This will help users to find a new application directly online. In addition to the application menu enables users also benefit the developer.

5. Along with Microsoft Office

Although Microsoft with its Windows are their rivals, but this OS Chrome was also supports office documents. Chorme OS at launch, Pichai also demonstrate that Chrome can open a document via Microsoft office live. Microsoft Office Live is a free web application for users of Windows Live.

When a user opens a document. Xls, Chorme OS will directly open Excel via Microsoft Office Live online.

For the first time, Google’s finally showing off its operating system, Chrome OS. Operating system based on open source is going to be a potential opponent for the Windows operating system from Microsoft.

But unlike Windows, Google says Chrome OS is the ideal operating system for devices outside the main computer. This indicates Chrome OS device intended for complementary, rather than to the primary computer user.

With the slogan ‘Speed, simplicity, security’, this OS is more like a browser with broad functionality and working in the SSD (solid state drive) rather than on the hard drive.

Chrome the OS, especially designed to pamper the user surf the experience quickly and safely. This software plans available in 2010 at cheap netbook products.

Chrome-based netbook OS will only be able to run web applications, and user data will be stored automatically on the server. “Basically, this is a web browsing machine,” said analyst Charlene Li of Altimeter Group.

Sundar Pichai, Vice President of Product Managemet OS Chrome Chrome claiming OS-based computers will be able to directly work in less than 7 seconds. “We want Chrome to work very fast operating system, such as television, you can simply turn it on and enjoy the application,” Pichai said.

Google and Microsoft’s competition will be more stringent. “This is really a deadly battle between Google and Microsoft. I think this fight in the end it will benefit everyone,” said Jim McGregor, analyst from In-Stat.

Problem patent technology makes a huge stumbling problem. This time turn giant Google is being dragged into the green table by an Israeli company associated Chrome.

Company called Red Bend’s furious because he felt his patent rights have been violated by Google. Red Bend has accused Google of using the output Courgette technology, a technology that Google uses to compress the software update for the phone and send it to the Chrome browser.

Courgette itself a compression algorithm to shrink the size of the update so that it can reduce the required bandwidth Google and its users, and to reduce vulnerability.

Red Bend Google actually claims to know about the patent filed in 1998 and in 2003 it was granted. Therefore, Red Bend sue. Related to this lawsuit, Google has not hand to speak.

For your information, Red Bend also has offices in Waltham, Massachusetts, which develops software management products for the mobile industry. Manufacturers of mobile phones, operators and software developers to use these products to manage and update their software on the phone.
