Re: Google Operating System
I've been saying it was going to happen for years. It was just a matter of time.
"The software architecture is simple — Google Chrome running within a new windowing system on top of a Linux kernel."
I like the Linux aspect, but I'm not a fan of Chrome at all.
I don't ever plan on owning a netbook either, so... :unsure:

You don't need a netbook to use Linux. Linux can be a highly lightweight platform (it even runs on PSP/iPhone etc). Stay away from KDE based distro's though.
I've heard rumors of the Google OS, but always assumed it would be fan based (not by Google Inc.)

I know that. I run a dual boot system with Ubuntu and have another computer running solely Mint Gloria 7.
Maybe you didn't read the article that this thread is about but the "Google OS" is intended for netbooks, and was created with them in mind.
Give the article a read; it's only four short paragraphs. ;)

Didn't take much to get persuade you, did it? :D
Re: Google Operating System
I'm skeptical, but I hope they'll make a good one.
Re: Google Operating System
Meh, I will try it out, but I can't see myself moving from my windows/ubuntu system any time soon. Plus Google OS is intended for people who surf the iNet and basically have all they need online. This is a downer for me, as I do care more about applications that are NOT run on the web.
