Could be another joke...Google has a tradition of creating April Fool's Day jokes such as Google MentalPlex which featured the use of mental power to search the Web. In 2002 they claimed that pigeons were the secret behind their growing search engine. In 2004 it featured Google Lunar which featured jobs on the moon and in 2005 a fictitious, brain-boosting drink termed Google Gulp was announced. One can find other pranks hidden between Google's pages. In the languages list one can find the Bork! Bork! Bork! version. Bork! is the mock Swedish of the Muppet Show's Swedish Chef. They also offer versions in Pig Latin Elmer Fudd, and Klingon. Some people thought the announcement of Gmail in 2004 around April Fools Day (as well as the doubling of Gmail's storage space to two gigabytes in 2005) was a joke.

a google os?!?! That sounds cool! I wonder if it will have the googly search implemented into your browser and stuff. I like gmail a lot and I use it frequently although my inbox is always being loaded with spam.

it's probably just an altered version of linux to directly fit their needs. most people who are technically make their own distribution of linux for their needs.

Like they say in "This Week In Tech", "google isn't a search company, they're an advertizing company!"

Basically google is building a good reputation so people will click/display their ads and use their search.

Apparently, this is a legit article. You can find an article here, or pick one of the other articles to read here.

If this is true then I guess microsoft was right to fear Google's potential. I can't say this was completely unexpected as many people have suggested that google should make an operating system but I didn't really think they would do it. But I had joked to my friends saying that if any corporation could take down microsoft it would be google.

I would love to see a list of features that they wish to incorporate into their os. I also wonder how much it would cost. If it were free I could really see google taking microsoft's monopoly of the market. I would switch and save a few hundred dollars every few years if google made a decent os. I have been waiting to get away from microsoft for a long time and this might be the solution.

I am also curious to see how microsoft will react in response to google's direct threat on their flagship product. Since google might become a large compeditor against microsoft it might put them into an arms race to develop new technology never before seen at a fast rate giving more benefits to the user.

This news certainly sounds fantastic, I can't wait to see google os. It's a shame that it's probably going to take them a few years. Maybe google will surprise us and develop it before it is anticipated, if anyone is known for quick software development it is google.

Just read a few of those articles myself, and although some people have been down on Google recently, I thinik they have a bright future if the company sticks to what they do best. I'm just as curious as the next person as to how the Google OS will emerge. As we see now and what we can envision in the near future, Google has proven to be much more than a great search engine.

I am not a fan of the Linux OS - I like my operating systems to be a simple point-and-click interface that gets things done quickly and easily (as opposed to the complicated console system used by Linux operating systems). So, unless this Google operating system has a system that can launch basic applications (the way Windows launches .exe files), I am pretty sure I will never use it.

Even though everyone's down on Google these days, they remain the most interesting company in the world and I'm optimistic about their potential and success (while also apprehensive about the prospect of using Google for absolutely everything someday...I'll be cursing the Google monopoly in 5 years time). If they stay on target with their plans to leverage their three core assets (which, if Gmail is any indication, they will), I predict Google will be the biggest and most important company in the world in 5-8 years.

I really do hope Google sticks with their OS and makes it a force to reckon with. We need more options out there, but at the same time have a certain level of compatibility between them. That's the biggest issue with these varied OS', but open source linux and retail windows will never mesh completely. After all what will make you stick with windows when linux is free, if these programs were cross OS compatible..

They are not trying to sway existing Microsoft clients (although that may happen in the slight percentile), but rather entice other linux users to their OS. Google really has the financial backing to produce an OS that in time can rival Windows in functionality, and that's what they're clearly trying to do. If anyone can rally an open source community it's Google.

With large communities sectored around various linux flavors coming together under one kernal, they can really hit the ground running. And most importantly ignite a greater wave of software compatibility.

It's really interesting to see just how this will flow together.

wow. .i'm pretty sure if google OS is actually true.. then it would be filled with google ads.. example of their free gmail service. .they still have one link of ads. Since i have 56k .. this would suck. .because it would probably use some of my bandwidth.. even though it isn't much.. i would preferr to get the full bandwidth from my 56k modem =P

I'm sure google os won't match up with windows in the beginning because they don't really have much experience in computer OS.

WOw.. google just started to grow since like last year till now. .and they already overcome most of the internet search engine such as yahoo and askjeeves. And their gmail offering 2.6 gb of space for gmail is just crazy.. even though i don't believe everyone will actually get 2gb of space. .but that is pretty crazy to annouce.. if one day.. people just filled their inbox with mp3 and attachments.. ahaha.. i wonder what they would do. I seriously think google is trying to get microsoft out of bussiness..... msn and yahoo have to work together to go against google... and now the OS.. trying to compete with microsoft window.. hmm. .wonder what next.. .google game console?.. to overcome microsoft xbox and sony playstation? HAHAHA..
