Its been announced that Google has another project, Google OS! The good thing about this is that its based around Ubuntu!
What could this mean to the whole Linux movement? Plenty!
- More hardware/software compatibility..
- More cross-platform compatibility..
- Sky rocket the market share of the Linux desktop..
- Possible PC vendor partnerships to pre-install Google OS.
- Give the major software vendors a push to rethink releasing their products upon the Linux platform.
- Make Linux an option for everyone!
Canonical, the business arm of Ubuntu has really managed to put Linux on the landscape, so can you imagine what Google can do for them?
Are you excited? I am – like a 16 year old school girl! ..Giggles and Blushes.. I feel Microsoft has plagued the desktop market way to long. Maybe Microsoft will move away from the OS game and concentrate on their neat-o ideas like Surface. Either way it’s time for a change. Time for some damn fresh air. I really think now is the time for Google OS.

You won’t find me running it. I trust my private data on windows far more than something done by Google.
I agree. They have 2 much information as it is man.
Good points, but for exposure sake its a big step in the right direction.
Ask yourself this…what sort of information does Google already have or potentially get, that the people who can do much more harm with it already don’t have???
Seriously.
If you think that anything you do on the net or on your computer, or any hosted service isn’t privy to discovery phases of litigation or investigation, either warranted or warrantless, then you’re kidding yourselves.
I would trust Google probably more because the founders, which are still VERY much in control have a conscience.
And with that said….if you’d trust MS more than Google, you might want to check out the resumes for most of the Google product managers…..here’s a hint…they were taken from MS, so anything they are doing at Google, was probably done at MS first.
With all that said…it is a step in the right direction to apply pressure to MS to get them to make more secure, stable and reliable products and anything that does that is a plus in my book, and the best part is it is an instant viable alternative.
