Google has reportedly developed a new Operating System of their own, based on the open-source Linux software.

If it saw general release, it would directly compete with Microsoft Windows.

Affectionately named Goobuntu, it’s based on the Ubuntu Linux fusion of Debian and Gnome graphical interfaces.

While there’s rife specualtion of Google releasing this - and that certainly remains a possibility in the long-term - it would be unlikly to exist outside of Google offices for some time to come.

Aside from the extensive testing and software compatibility that would be required for them to release a direct competitor to Windows, Google have shown more interest in a future where Google has a dominant market position on the provision of internet services.
