    I have heard a lot of rumours recently about Google developing its own O/S, to compete with Windows...

    Anyone has more info on this?:confused:

    I imagine they might buy out a company like Redhat and build on what they've done.

    it'll take them ages to compete head on with the incumbents... even if it's true, it's probably something niche... :)

    I wouldn't be surprised if a small portion of Google (be it software developers, or some person in the research department) was kicking around the idea of an operating system...but the funny thing is though that they don't like to release software in hard-copy, obviously they like to be able to change things on the fly and have everyone feel a change...I would happily play around with some Web 2.0 Operating System if, in the foreseeable future there was one, though they have a long ways to go.

    So, I've heard that Google announced a couple of months ago that it will soon be coming out with its very own operating system - the Google Chrome OS.
