People -

Core ingredients as mentioned above is a solid kernel – GOOG can pull an AAPL with a free, solid BSD base, without having to marry it to particular hardware.

Look at UBUNTU, it’s working great.
Yes there isn’t a Photoshop & AutoCAD etc on it yet.

The MAIN advantage Google has above all competitors:

Their nerds/engineers are fitter than the rest – they play with Lego, eat right, exercise etc. with PHD’s.

The complexity of Google’s currently implemented, distributed cloud system is way more complex and capable than anything Microsoft’s developed so far.

Apple’s got a solid operating system, but you need to fork out an iMac etc. to run it.

Winning recipe for Google:

Throw some of that genius towards a solid Linux/BSD type distribution, like UBUNTU, but make the current proprietary stuff work in there, while getting teams to catch up & outdo the Autodesks & Adobes. Develop superior filesystems independently, capable of running everything, for free. Get WINE like tech >working

I’ve read all the comment that are posted on this blogspot back to 08-24-05; the “Evil Empire” is still the dominant OS and software developer in the world; but…, I do believe that MS’s grip on the personal PC and business computing marked has loosened somewhat.

I’m reading more comments and infor about Linux, Solaris and other OS platforms. In my opinion, it’s just not right to have one entity in near total control of the Internet and information management. Make no mistake, the boys at Redmond, WA would like to get thier icy grips around the Internet and all the power that comes with that type of control!

Bottom line, there needs to be a user frindly OS that can be open sourced and runs all those Windows applications that we all have on our machines by the gigs! I would pay a reasonable price for a stable OS distro that could be bootable on my HDD; I realy don’t care what the name is, as long as it works and doesen’t drive me to want to chuck my monitor our my balcony door!

PS I’ve just installed an update for IE7 (Internet Explorer 7.0.5730.13) and now most of my right-click options won’t work, including ie spell which I desperately need to correct my crude spelling! The “Evil Empire” strikes again!!!

Google OS?
With all respect, but MS still dominates the market. Is it possible to beat MS?
imo the only change for Google to beat MS is coming with a new Linux distro or unite all the other distros? Beating MS by setting up a new OS from scratch? no chance, not even if your company is called Google.

Good Luck Google!

‘The biggest thing stopping users switching to Linux is the unfamiliarity of the enviroment. It’s a steep learning curve to change from Windows to Linux.’

Utter bollocks, a trained monkey could learn to use any desktop linux distro in a day, just because it’s not spoon fed to you like windows does not make it difficult.

A few google apps do not make an os, as for a google os in the future, i fukking hope not !

I agree it’s not a kernal, but I can’t wait for an alternative–especially one from a company whose moto is “don’t be evil.” If Google does go the linux route and we have a mass market linux OS people other than the nwerdly gifted are willing to use the world will be a better place. Slightly
