Google Operating System

[Rich Edmonds]

Its Google, it'll be BETA until it dies. I doubt the Linux community will welcome it with loving arms, Google will fail, again. Their browser has next to no market share, what makes them think they can create a Linux distro that will compete? They may make an impact on Netbooks but how many people will switch?

Most savvy tech people use Mac, Windows 7 or Linux, why would they need to switch to Give Operating Ooglenessly Loving Elegant OS?

Sometime I feel like Google is try to take over the world. I think OS is going to fail. Google should just stick to Search Engine.

As you can tell by my signature lol I'm definitely looking forward to this release.

Sure, at the beginning it will be basic and focused towards very low powered devices, but as we know with Google is always gets bigger and better over time!

Anyone got any screenshots of it in action so far? any previews videos etc

What makes you say that?

 

[Chalex4]

There have been no screenshots or previews to date. I think we can expect some teasers soon though.

Im hoping to get a netbook sometime, hopefully I wont have to deal with GoogleOS

I'd rather not use it. I might end up testing it out, but I doubt I'll like it. Like this article states: "Linux is hard to love."

Oh my lord I cannot wait for this. Releasing sometime in 2010! It is going to be amazing. I will have it setup as a dual boot with my Windows 7 that i pre-ordered for October 22nd!

Its going to be amazing!

The initial release is going to be made for netbooks, so unless you want to try duel booting on a netbook then you'll have to wait a while for to get it on PC.

It will be interesting to see how Linux cope with this. The future of Linux coming as default on web books looks bleak since Google will be directly competing with them, and Microsoft are offering Manufacturers XP licenses "cheap as chips".

Looking forward to it. Moreso looking forward to seeing the User Interface, whether they'll go for the traditional Taskbar / Start Button or go for a Mac-Styles dock. 🙂

Uhmm incorrect,since Google will be using the linux kernal it will help linux not hurt it.

I hope it is based on the Mac UI setup. That would be cool!

I am happy that Google is moving forward with a OS. I am also happy that the Operating System is built around a Linux Kernal so it is open to developers like me, ohh and free 🙂
