What if Google had an operating system up it’s sleeve? Those are the rumours spreading across the web. Unfortunately, rumours they remain. Delicious looking rumours. How about this for eye candy?



And these:

And this food for thought… The GooOS, the Google Operating System as Kottge.org so dreamily writes back in April of this year. Can you imagine the cow MS would have if this were ever to become reality?

HOAX

Google hasnt even made a "google suite" nor do they have enogh product to put in one.

I would welcome an Office suite made by google though, Excel/Access have no competition.

That's the front end for their web appliance. It's a very simple GUI to run over their "spiders" for local networks.

Hey, everyone thought the Google IM was a hoax too. Some still think it's a hoax.

This is unregistered guest haven! :D . And "GooOS" doesn't look very sophisticated to me. Whether it's myth or reality. I wouldn't be excited either way. I mean WOW, a linux shell. How impressive! With all their programmers and "scientists" that's the best they could do?! :rolleyes:

If it's true, I'd try it. No harm in that, anyway.

Always a Critique.. I doubt you will ever get 100% that like an OS, but if Google were to make an OS then maybe Microsoft will have to drop prices on their OS. Well need a little competition in this market. If Google comes out with an OS I would try it.

I knew Google was going to take over electronics.... first an innocent site..... then the biggest search engine, then searching every book on the planet, then google maps, then google earth, the google moon... (love the cheese! :D)
And since I can do whatever the hell I want here.....
