GoogleOS - True or just dreams ?

Filed in archive Web 2.0 on November 22, 2006

Yesterday I did not find the time to post for you, my much appreciated readers. Why ? I am on vacation. Yours truly is in Kansas, USA. What am I doing here ? Well, I am visiting family not far from kansas city, with my wife and our little princess. So how come I am posting now ? Because I gave my family a wireless router the other day and I brough my MacBook.


Today I would like to talk about the famous GoogleOS, which doesn't exist. The screenshot above is one of many that can be found on the internet - it looks great but I think two things are clear for all of us :

• There is no GoogleOS and there never will be


• If GoogleOS will be there after all it will be based on Linux or it will be webbased

We have already seen some of the webbased operating systems, that is, in fact webbased desktops, not real and complete operating systems. Google being a web company and all, chances are fair it would be webbased. One thing to be sure of, is the real and serious threat it will be to Microsoft's Vista, the operating system that has been broken so many times before it has ever been released, it's future is clear : millions will buy it, hardware sales will go up as Vista asks ridiculous system specs and all of those millions will complain about it. Conclusion ? Well, personally I'd say let it all go and buy a mac.
