    Google will release the OS soon because They have talented people and their search engine is a very good product for all, IF they release a product means sure it will beat MS products,

    Have anyone tried using it? Is it good? I'm just scared it may turn out to be spyware. Strange, there's also no press release at google's site at all.

    It's just an Ubuntu with lipstick. It's no spyware, it's just marketing. When Google releases their operating system, you'll hear about it. In the mean time if you want a good Windows alternative you should try ReactOS (www.reactos.org). The code is not reversed, it's 100% unique and the system is 100% compatible with Windows software. Besides, it's open source.

    ok I wish people would stop posting reactos
    it sucks balls, it's still in beta and never coming out... just pirate XP and turn on "windows classic" if you want a crappy GUI

    Is it a real OS developed by Google? How come I've never heard about this before.

    What do you mean it's never coming out? It's open source so it's out with every major bugfix. Ofcourse it can't be compared to Windows but Windows license costs 150$ and ReactOS is FREE.

    it has a crappy GUI
    the creators have abandoned it
    it's still in ALPHA stages after 3-4 years


    like I said, just pirate windows xp and put it on "classic"

    Has anyone tried it out? I know it's fake but it looks quite nice. As a toy. :)

    I don't know why I saw this coming....

    First you posted fake news, then you asked for Diggs, then you write a review....

    C'mon man, when you noticed it was not Google it was time to correct this thread you started, not write a review of Foobuntu....

    May get google to get off their arse and actually go for an OS... (to stop people from thinkg gOS is theirs)

    I think by 2010 linux will have a very string foothold against MS, apple seems to be picking up some steam as well...
