Would you use a Google OS?

haha, no. Google is a search engine, I wouldn't trust them as a OS. Even though their Linux based....

 

No, no, and no.

 

Hi!
My answer is Yes. You should try it first. This is Google's specialty: a simple, easy to use interface, accessible to all levels of users. Though there is no indication that anything like this is in the works, one can easily imagine a streamlined Google OS on its own hard disk partition, separated from the entertainment, gaming, and media production environments. In addition to Google's signature services—a high-powered internet, media, and local disk search engine—it would likely consist of an office suite, a lean web browser, and various other applications and utilities. Consider the technology already at Google's disposal. Start with the world's best search engine with access to the largest body of searchable information and media. Add Gmail: a clean, javascript-based application, stored on a server, accessed via the internet, from which a user can not only compose, read, organize, and search their email, but also quickly access Google's search and other services.

Now, look at Google News: a world of online news sources, which can be customized to an individual users preferences. Throw in Google's desktop search, the Picasa photo software, and Firefox (Mozilla and Google have significant overlap in their employed workforces) with live bookmarks, and cool research extensions such as dictionary and thesaurus lookup, linky, launchy, and the like. Extend all of this technology to typical desktop applications like office software, then combine them all into one interface and bundle the OS. Simple, powerful, and totally Google.

Good Luck!

 

Good points! I wonder if this is the direction they'll head. They are getting into every other area. The last would be an OS to integrate it all together.

 

I would, if I could run Windows programs on it, and other people had positive experiences with it. If it was open source, I would have no problem at least giving it a try.

 

If something special,I may try

 

i'm good with microsoft operating systems. In my opinion everyone should stick to their domain. Google might try to beat Yahoo, but i think no one can deal with Microsoft on software market, especially on Operating system market.

 

My Answer would be a big NO as Google would monitor each and every activity by us

 

Apple kind of owns a lot of google, so Google wouldnt need to bring one out, they have their Mac.

 

I bet they will make it, and they will probably cover all microsoft bugs.

 

Maybe yes on the near future.

 

they should call it : GBI - Google Bureau of investigation

it's always a small trick if you're thinking at something like that. disable your internet connection and you'll be safe.

 

I wonder if it is going to be free... if they release one of course...

 

why not if Google OS is good & free......

 

This question isn't based on news about Google really having an OS, but I do wonder if they'll come out with one or (more likely) buy someone out.

 

I think if google OS will be released, it will based on free *nix platofrm and includes all soft from google: toolbar, picasa, etc. Why not for home, but for corporate - I answer No.

 

Yes i would.

Vista Sucks and since they are retiring XP there needs to be a decent rival on the market and if Google were to offer a decent alternative i would use it.

 

I can't beleive how many people respond, yet do not read through the thread. gOS is an operating system that is made by google and already exists people.

 

gOS is not from GOOGLE!!

 

I don't think that I would use a GoogleOS, I am already worried about what Google happens to be doing with all of the information they have on my already. And besides, I'm pretty happy with OSX at this point.
