Google Operating System planned

Yeah, and with to few people running win32 binaries it will probably die out very quickly :rolleyes:

Do you remember realplayer? :rolleyes:

Anyway poor win users are going to be so confused.. shame :D

The BBC world presenter gave his opinion saying it won't work.. clearly he has not used or heard of Linux :D

Google is slowly taking over, soon we will all live in the United States of Google.

Seriously though I welcome another open-source OS, especially now that Oracle has bought Sun, who knows what will happen with Solaris.

I wonder if it will really be as radically different as they are claiming or if they are just going to create a "Chromed" Linux or BSD variant. Should be interesting nonetheless :)
 
If Samsung is able to boot their camcorders in 2 seconds. Then how difficult would it be if for Google with their backing? Kernel in 2 seconds which calls new a variant of openrc that threads into setting up wireless in background process + starting chrome in frame buffer mode. Voila! Who needs a Start/Task bar. :p
 
Perhaps Google will buy over ReactOS and then we will have a true competing OS that can be used for real world application.

I am interested in this. Competition is always welcome.

It will surely be a lot more like Windows than Linux is, if they want it to 'just work' for current PC users.

Looking forward to it I am.

I'm running... Firefox, Chrome, Opera, VLC, Virtualbox, Skype, Handbrake, open office and more all natively on 64bit ubuntu Linux, why on earth would I need Win32/64 binaries when developers can port apps themselves?. React OS is dog s***, Microsoft will never allow anybody to make user of their binaries without expensive licensing.

Microsoft created the win32 market, they deserve it, why steal from them.

It's a pretty big market.... Percentage wise the rest is not even on the scale.

which is why we need alternatives, most companies develop for OSX and if Linux goes mainstream they'll learn to develop for it. you are obviously employed in a win32 market and that's all you know.
 
Google wants a pie of everything... email/os etc.

Google Cars next?
 
So what the current list of viable OSs for a netbook?

* Ubuntu (heard it's the best)
* Moblin
* Windows CE
* Windows XP
* Windows 7 (Heard it runs quite well)
* Google Android

Any I'm missing? I'm thinking of getting me a netbook. Just pondering what I'm going to put on it.
 
This seems more like a challenge to Ubuntu than to MS in the netbook arena. I wonder which is more popular. OSS netbooks or MS netbooks.
