Google OS – What if?
venturous article from Softpedia makes speculations with regards to a Google homebred operating system that is based on GNU/Linux. Google’s Open Source affinity is out of the bag now, so looking 5 years ahead, will there be a tighter integration between Google’s on-line services and a Google-controlled Linux distrubution?
Google is non-conformist enough, and it has sufficient money and knowledge to be able to venture in this domain. The recipe? You take a Linux distribution (Google’s appetite for Open Source and Linux is no longer a secret), you mix it with Google’s knowledge on Internet searching, e-mail, security, programming and document indexing, you give it a name that includes Google and OS, and there you have it.
