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.
