Google announces plans for free open source OS

    It seems every day Google is coming up with new ways to impact our daily lives.

    Therefore, one could reason Google's Android cellphone OS was simply the beginning as Google looks towards home and business computing (and not purely running software inside a browser window).

    One potential growth market could be a more fully developed OS.

    This is a prediction that Google will announce plans before the end of the year to release an open source operating system - i.e., one that can be fully operational on a desktop computer and serve as a basis for that computer - not simply Android as it currently stands running on a PC, nor an emulator, but a real-deal OS. (Let us not mince words.)

    If this comes true, this operating system will be viewed as a direct threat against Windows and OS X.

    The intended goal need only be announced by Google publicly, that it also be open source based, and reported by the mainstream media in the US some time in 2008. Rumors do not count. It needs to be official.

    I don't want me cell phone to use the Google OS. They try to make it look great (open source, etc.) but at the end ads will be placed all over the place, I'm sure.

    can't agree more. The reason why Google has become so big is because they own the online ads. As you can see in Google search engine itself, there are so many ads (if you are living in the US) in competitive keywords. There is a very big chance Google will put many online ads in their OS after they conquer the market.

    If MSN will luanch new SE than also you will switch over from Google to new one.

    Google can not compete with MS and Windows is the best system,

    There are many software which we daily uses, MS will not provide support to Google OS, than what will you do?

    You need to once again come back to the WINDOWS...

    Dont get excited, First think about future and than post.

    It will help you.
