Google Operating System...

So does anyone else think we are seeing the Google OS right in front of us? Gmail has been in beta forever, now we have calendar and notebook we first had search. I'm kind of thinking that Google is releasing each of these pieces seperately and gathering users/momentum and feedback and then one of these days it will all be stitched into something. Sure seems odd, very long betas if you ask me...
I think so. That's why they've hired M.Lucovsky who was an OS designer/developer/etc at Microsoft. Here is the story behind this; :laugh: When Mark Lucovsky (chief designer and developer of NT/W2K/..) decides to leave Microsoft and when he was about to leave Microsoft for Google, Steve Ballmer's reaction was: "Steve Ballmer picked up a chair and threw it across the room hitting a table in his office. Ballmer then said: 'Fucking Eric Schmidt(Google's CEO) is a fucking pussy. I'm going to fucking bury that guy, I have done it before, and I will do it again. I'm going to fucking kill Google,'" then resumed trying to persuade Lucovsky to stay at Microsoft.

Why would they need to do this? Where is the value in it for them to have to create, support and maintain an OS when their products work on all existing OSs anyway? Right now Google never has to field a Windows, Mac OS or Linux support call. regards, Paul Watson Ireland FeedHenry needs you
eh, stop bugging me about it, give it a couple of days, see what happens.
Sorry, by accident I voted a 2... And I just don't know how to retrieve it. Google has been offering a lot of intesting things, earth, moon, mars, destop, gmail, pages and lot more, mostly in beta phase. If there is a Google OS, I will try it without hesitation. But can you guys really figure out what the benifits Google can make from a Google OS?

Obviously, Google would take and do what Apple did.
But Apple had almost twenty years of GUI layer experience. On the other hand, I've yet to figure out what Googles actual business plan is. Except for selling ad space, I can't figure out their revenue model. Anyone who thinks he has a better idea of what's good for people than people do is a swine. - P.J. O'Rourke
Google - Gmail The usage of technology and the implementation is great! The target is still unexplored but there is something big that is to be implemented. The new upcoming features might be able to specify the actual plan about gmail and the revenue collection method. Vartika

OOOooooo, get you lot. (Do I feel inadequate now?)
