Walter Mossberg of The Wall Street Journal, who has been testing Google's Chrome browser for a week next to the latest version of Microsoft's Internet Explorer, concludes "With the emergence of Chrome, consumers have a new and innovative browser choice, and with IE8, the new browser war is sure to be a worthy contest." Many cloud computing enthusiasts are overjoyed with Chrome and call it the first cloud browser or even the basis for a cloud operating system.

Cloud based computing just refers to the way an Application can be run on a server(s) out in the Internet with the user interface running on a users web browser. The problem with cloud based computing is that most browsers are designed for browsing not running applications. The Google Chrome browser is designed for running these Applications as well as browsing.
