Old news. gOS (goodOS) was originally touted as "greenOS" and "googleOS". Its been around forever. AFAIK it was designed by google people. Download it. Its pretty good. http://www.thinkgos.com/index.html

The gOS was not designed by Google -- read right at the bottom of the page you linked. :shadedshu

"Cloud and gOS are not affiliated with Google or their partners."

Now, Google does use an OS called "Goobuntu" internally, but it's not available to the public.

I just assumed that even the basic house hold has children that want to play games on the computer, so if the OEM companies ship with Google OS wouldn't they have to include, "Not compatible with commercial games" or something on the box? I just think that'd be a turn off to most customers.

If you have any younger children as relatives, you should know that most of them get their gaming from consoles today -- I think Google's banking on that.

Very nice. If nothing else were to come of it, at least Google makes me feel good

Reminds me of BeOS back in the day, the 'multi-media' OS. It's no-legacy, highly-threaded, open-eyed approach made it a great OS during it's time. Unfortunately MS was more concerned about crushing opposition than actually listening to their customers and making their product better. Fast forward ten years and you still get that same feeling from MS.

I don't really like how Google and all these other search companies read our searches and target ads to us.
I especially don't like the thought of Google knowing what I am doing on my Google OS all the time either.
If I was going to install an OS besides MS Windows, I'd have to go with a different version of linux. I like ubuntu well enough and am going to try out Fedora later this summer.

Yeah, but Google is likely one of the few entities that has enough pull and financial backing to go head to head with MS.

It'll be quite hard for them I think...
it needs to have compatibility with windows programmes...

What -- you think Microsoft isn't going to copy this idea and make a "Windows 8 Quick Start Edition Plus Ultimate" in the future? :laugh:

Whatever someone else does, Microsoft will copy eventually.

So? WTH does MS have to do with my comment?

He meant to say, prepare for assimilation into The Cloud

I knew about this around the time Chrome was launched. Nothing too exciting, ill be a bit more optimistic if it actually happens.

Oh, and Yukikaze, a fresh OS install every 3-4 months is pretty much essential to keep your system clean and running up to speed. I notice my system starts to get sluggish around the 4 month mark.

mlee49 · Jul 8, 2009

Its about time Google launched this. I'm glad to see a new competitor to Linux.

Any beta links?

HellasVagabond · Jul 8, 2009

We wont see it in anything but the low of the lowest Netbooks and even that is a big IF.

AphexDreamer · Jul 9, 2009

"In other news Google enters the pharmaceutical competition and aims at delivering low cost over the counter medicine for numerous illnesses." Got that from the future just got back... Google becomes the real Umbrella Company, its a pretty bleak future, but Windows 12 is KICK ASS!

btarunr · Jul 9, 2009

They're an IT company that stayed inside the IT industry. They're not even a quarter as diverse as Microsoft.

By the time this will be out, there will be Dual-core Atoms. This is only useful to tech n00bs and people who need more speed. Late 2010 is simply too late.

How is 2010 too late?

Are PC's going to suddenly disappear or something? :eek:

I fail to see how they can be "too late' to bring a product to a market it doesn't have any other products in. It's not like a userbase is going to just up and leave their old product.

There is this really cool thing called "product planning" and when you make a whole OS.... it takes time. They just decided finally that the product is going to get a green light for actual production IMO.

a_ump · Jul 9, 2009

I knew google had money...but i didn't figure they were huge like microsoft i mean its just a website

haha i guess i undermine it.

Ok so i was wrong about that part. However gOS is exactly like what will come out of google. VERY little actual applications installed on the machine, based totally on cloud and web applications. Google's OS will just be a clone of gOS.

And when it came out, gOS was actually called googleOS, but there was confusion, and it got changed to greenOS then goodOS.

This news doesn't excite me at all. The last thing we need is the move to cloud computing right now, Especially with the crappy infrastructure of places k=like the US, and the ever growing list of ISP's capping bandwidth.
