AI 54: Google strengthens its position for Closed Systems with Clover


Google has developed and streamlined a new browser called Clover which is designed to become the flagship for Web 3.0 (Refer to AI 1) Cloud Applications. The move towards Closed Systems (other related references: AI 9, AI 15, AI 16, AI 18, AI 20 and AI 48). Clover does not need an operating system as we know it today and so this is a full frontal attack against Microsoft who has 70% of the browser market share.

Google is using Clover as a front-end to its virtual world which of course is another Closed System.
