t_r_nelson Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Isn't this just another Linux flavor? Sure, Google has the ability to back the project with devs and money. But, in the end, it's just another Linux distribution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, in the end, it's just another Linux distribution. With an entirely new layer on top of it! They're only using Linux to not have to write a complete kernel.

what Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Isn't this just another Linux flavor? Sure, Google has the ability to back the project with devs and money. But, in the end, it's just another Linux distribution. It's a bit more than that, but its new interpretation of personal computing has no place in the world imo. Not yet, anyway.

.Neo Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 So will this Google OS only be compatible with Googles own services? I don't really get the application model. What if I want to talk to people on MSN or AIM or something else than Google Calendar to manage my appointments? isnt OS X just another Unix flavor as well Unix ≠ Linux ≠ Mac OS X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t_r_nelson Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 I guess the release is not exciting to me. I think the exciting part is the backing that Google can add to it. As I mentioned before, the resource of money and developers will lead to more and more official add-ons. Not saying the Linux community isn't really good at that, but I think Google will develop programs to put them in direct competition with Windows. IMO, that would be a more relative alternative to Windows for most people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
