Good OS debuted its first product in 2007, gOS(A Linux operating system for consumers). In December 2008, Good OS announced its second product, Cloud, a small browser operating system, to be shipped on the GIGABYTE Touch-screen Netbooks which will run Cloud and Windows XP together. In January 2009, Good OS released gOS 3.1 Gadgets, an updated version of its Linux operating system with an improved user experience. Currently gOS has been developed into its third major release–gOS 3.0 Gadgets featuring widgets powered by Google Gadgets–and has been pre-installed with additional PC OEM's on desktops, notebooks, netbooks and more.
The basic idea behind Google OS is "Cloud computing". Cloud computing is an idea that what makes up your "personal computer" - your desktop, your apps, and your data, - can live and run on the Internet instead of on your hard drive. With "Cloud" operating system, users can turn on their computers to a web browser, and immediately start surfing the web, emailing, and chatting. "Cloud" simplifies the experience of using a computer, by moving everyday computing into the web browser. Features:- Google Gadgets: Enjoy a desktop full of live, personalized data. Google Mail and Calendar: gOS 3.1 pre-installs WINE 1.0, which makes it capable of running some Windows software. For example, Google Picasa for Linux runs like it does on Windows.
