Google Operating System?
by brian_turner
Jim Allchin, group vice president of the Windows platform division, publicly admitted that Google had been pinching key Microsoft staff:
Try Google to find alums of Microsoft
When I read information like that, I can’t help but think back to specualtive comments I made in public on the SearchEngineWatch forums, on a possible future Google Operating System within 5 years: Going on the record
Microsoft is losing market share, and Longhorn is continually delayed further back. The days of MS dominating home PCs is dying away, and MS only have their appalling security record to blame.
Now imagine what a kick Google could give by investing in Google Linux.
Google could easily see it accepted and shipping with new PCs, too. It would also be a superb way to ensure Google captured users for its own ad base. After all, from toolbar to desktop and backing Mozilla – why not OS in 5 years time? Or, at least, a strong sponsorship of one.
