An interesting take on the possiblity of the Google OS and why it may already be here, just not in one piece.
Its the google operating system, and even though it runs on Windows, its almost here. All it needs now is for google to go a step further and release it as a culminated project that doesnt need windows to run on.
Google have just released google sidebar. It lets you search your entire computer, agregated news, tells you whats popular on the net, takes notes, tells you the weather, and alerts you of new email. Lets mark that down as the equivalent of a start bar in windows. Google also released their Instant Messaging Program today, with chat and voice support.
GoogleOS…scary thought lol
I’ll buy it!
None of those features listed are anything without Disk IO, Threading etc… core operating system features. Suggesting that Sidebar and Google Talk are the beginnings of a Google OS seem a little naieve. They’re a collection of productivity apps and utilities, not operating system features.
A totally different perspective published back in April ’04, suggesting the Google OS is already here, and that you use it every day…

Yeah an OS that needs another OS to run. Brilliant! Revolutionary even..
it’s like windows 3.1/95/98 all over again!
Yes, because an OS is nothing more than a collection of applications and features. (rolleyes)
I’m a Google leghumper as much as the next guy, but come on. Bit of a stretch.
haha, Ireally want a google os
microsoft is best
I think they are wanting us to move away from the traditionaly definition of an OS. For most of the mainstream user, and OS is just a series of applications. These mainstream users are the lifeblood of Microsoft.
If a desktop PC can be dumbed down to simply a terminal that allows you to launch applications that run as web pages, the regular user will not know the difference.
This makes the Desktop PC OS a commodity that a simple less intensive OS such as a scaled down implementation of Linux would handle just fine. That means to the average Joe that they no longer have to worry about personal PC security and their investment in to a PC would last longer.
Businesses are already moving some of their application usage to online programs such as Salesforce.com. Many people use gmail, yahoo mail or hotmail for their email programs. The trend is shifting to moving applications and personal storage of data to a server reducing total cost of ownership
thinkof the possibilites of a google os!
if it were clustered millions of computer working together!!!!!as one googleof course new security would be needed to be researched
to separate private files from google filesbut an amazing idea though… p.ssorry my keyboard is broken works kinda funny space and other buttons work when they want to sometimes double
