Operating system from google

lee101 · 01-07-2006, 01:33 PM

Could this be true?? Google making an operating system, my dad said he heard something about it on BBC news this morning, and i have just found this link: http://www.gizmodo.com/gadgets/softw...os--123473.php
It looks like it oculd be good for a basic internet pc, and i think it's based on Linux, what do you guys think of it? will it be another great product from google?

If you read further down the page you would see that it's a big fake.

I havent read the article, but it is not completely impossible that they would develop an operating system, I am sure it has been discussed by the top notch execs at google.

i think that google Will create an operating system eventually. they are doing just about everything else

Hmm....there's all this hype about GOOGLE and so far it has been working. However, I doubt and OS, even from a giant like GOOGLE would grab hold of a significant portion of the market.

those images and article are fictional, but i think its common knowledge that google have had a os deep in the pipeline for some time. Probably based on knoppx or some linux version.

Well, if they do, you can imagine how liong it would be kle[t in BETA, i mean froogle and stuff like that has been in BETA for ages, imagine a whole OS, it'll be BETA for like 10 years.

linux has practically been BETA since it came out but for the most part not only is it stable, but its used in HPC and servers all over the world as well as a multitude of handheld devices
