Of course they will. It's just a matter of time.
Are you sure? :rolleyes: Do you think users would shift to the Google OS and Google Office when they are comfortable with Windows and MS office? Will they be willing to go through the learning curve again? Something to ponder about... ;P

It may end up with: ~ Windows + Intel = Wintel, ~ Google + AMD = Goolamd. :->

Can Google ever beat Microsoft? Ofcourse they have the best search engine that man has ever known and their Beta products are amazing, but can they ever break Microsoft's dominance on the home users' market? Can anyone see home users using Google OS (an imaginary version of OS by Google :)) instead of Windows, Google Office (same as Google OS) instead of MS Office and lastly, can you all see yourselves using Google Visual Studio? :doh: Does anyone here think that this is what the future would be like? Or will we still be using the Microsoft versions 25 years hence? Answer honestly......;P --- With best regards, A Manchester United Fan The Genius of a true fool is that he can mess up a foolproof plan!
there is a simple question I can ask. can Microsoft replace the word "googling" with their own (e.g "msning"). google is that much popular and dominant in the search area. For OS concerns there are many other products. there is no meaning in saying adobe release their new OS because of their famous products like acrobat and photoshop. Always compare judiciously. -Sarath

In what? I do not know about anything else. But as far as Operating systems are concerned, I can't think of a more user-friendly, "said-and-done" operating system. Windows will keep to grow and I strongly believe that nothing is going to defeat it, atleast in the near future. When other aspects such as search, web services, etc are concerned, I think Google may do better. But dont even think that google is going to come out with a hardcore operating system suddenly out of the blue and people shift to it, not even office. Regards, Rajesh R.

User-friendly? Said-and-done? Ah! Mac OS. Yes that's true. It's the total opposite of Windows, but it won't beat it.

I hope not, but I fear you are right. On the other side, well if MacOS would be the topseller, less admins would be needed, so Windows is good for IT jobs. ------------------------------ PROST Roleplaying Game War doesn't determine who's right. War determines who's left.

FYKI, Microsoft is venturing into Google's territory. Their Live portal is said to be a rival to the popular Google Search. Now, when it comes to searching the web, even I am a die hard Google fan :), but come to think of it, don't you think Google would ever come up with an OS or Office suite. With Microsoft trying to compete with google on search technologies, do you think that Google would just keep quiet and stay put. :omg: When I posted this topic I was talking about the future, not the present. Who knows, maybe in the near future, the word googling would be replaced by Living ( After Live.com ). :-> And even Adobe may come up with an OS. :omg: Who knows? Can you predict the future? ;) Google OS[^] --- With best regards, A Manchester United Fan The Genius of a true fool is that he can mess up a foolproof plan!

Google Office
Now THIS is where I personally think that they'll win out - with GoogleCalendar, google mail and the impending (re)release of Writely, they already have the potential to create an almost complete online office suite - with the cost of MSOffice being what it is, the fact that it's free and accessible from anywhere could be the "killer feature" "Now I guess I'll sit back and watch people misinterpret what I just said......"

I think it might be possible. The fighting has already started about the Internet services and it will go on till one won this fight. And to be honest: Had anyone of you ever thought that Google might get so popular ? That they would ever launch an own Mail System or News-Bot or even Google Earth ? I suppose not ;) But I don't think they'll launch an own OS maybe something like Google Office or Google Outlook but that's all ( I hope :) ) At the end a nice link for a future vision: http://blog.outer-court.com/videos/epic-2015.html[^] I hope this link works. Otherwise use Google on Epic 2015 :laugh:

I don't think so. Google and Microsoft work in different IT fields. And, if we got "Google OS" - what about "old programs" compatibility ? Best regards, Alexey.
I don't care what sort of OS they make. But I know something, it will definitely be a Linux or Unix rip-off. They definitely cannot make an OS from scratch. gaurav_scr@hotmail.com

No. Has the best search engine but no the best OS & products. If they weren't able to create a good IM program (Google Talk is SHIT), neither they will be able to create a good OS/Office pack. :laugh:

I sincerely disagree. It is my preferred IM client because it is fast and light. The GMail integration is also brilliant. MSN Messenger/Windows Live Messenger is bloated with features I never use. regards, Paul Watson Ireland FeedHenry needs you
eh, stop bugging me about it, give it a couple of days, see what happens.

Mac OS is fast and stable, Windows isn't. Just take a look at memory used by Windows. Of course, you are right. Many features have been copied by Windows (and less features have been transferred from MacOs to Windows), but having nearly the same features in a software don't make the same usage. There are huge differents. I only work with windows, because in my job I need a windows pc, but when friends show me their Apples I'm amazed how easy and fast they are. Everone can set up a mostly secure apple computer in a few minutes. The most PCs aren't secure and you need much more time for setting them up.

Well, I allowed myself to overstate. For me there's a huge difference between simplicity and stability. But of course that's just my opinion. I like MacOS but I have to work with Windows :^) ------------------------------ PROST Roleplaying Game War doesn't determine who's right. War determines who's left.
