Dell, the world's third-largest PC-maker, is testing Google's Chrome operating system on some computers, a move that might give users an alternative to Microsoft's Windows.
Trials of Chrome OS are being conducted on prototypes of netbook-style devices and tablet computers, Stephen Felice, Dell's consumer and small and medium business president, said Thursday at Dell's annual analyst meeting in Austin.
"We have to wait and see how this product is received," Felice said. He called Chrome a "very compelling" operating system.
