Notsnarc Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 Hey anybody noticed google movements lately? email service , tons of additional features keep building up, and the computer searching program annoucment I think that it is very likely that google will start developing an os 2 years from now if things keep going so well for it Also anyone noticed the US job boom? it just started, I think google's gonna thrive off the US economy starting to be so strong again so know that I got out of the way why I believe a google os is highly likely what do u think it will be like if it happens I can see a decently compatible and very fast os I think, probaly sorta a combo of linux and windows and actually stable, if it happens it should be awesomely crazy, simple enough for a 3 year old to use, and advanced enought to make coders, gmaers, developers happy google is a great company, I hope it creates some competition for microsoft (already has for yahoo, haha) btw there is speculation that the reason longhorn is taking so long is part of microsoft's defense against the newbie power google, make it stronger and better so that google can't get up and into the OS world, although linux is a threat to microsoft it's a minor one, the normal user barely even knows what it is, and apple, haha apple is too caught up in design, looks, and coolness So what do you think, will google make an OS, and if so what sort of things should we expect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Favvi Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 no, no OS, imo.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt74441 Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 I don't think an OS would work for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goheels681 Posted June 20, 2004 Share Posted June 20, 2004 If anything, tdere MIGHT be a Linux build that dies in a few years. But I seriously doubt anything will happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockett15 Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 :unsure: somehow I don't see the jump from search, to e-mail, to a full blown os? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neonerd Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 By the time they got it RTM, Longhorn would be out, and probably the USA economy would have taken another dive. Google also doesnt really have the money to gamble on making there own OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyperactive Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 It is a big jump from what Google has been doing to making an OS! If they wanted to go that route I would suspect they would bundle Google designed stuff with and open source OS. I think that if they are smart though they will stick with what they know best and not try to create a new OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xer34 Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 Meh. Theyre just trying to, well.. .. organize the internet. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tristan.oneil Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 They'll be lucky if they get gmail out public this year, I doubt they'll come out with an OS. There more likely to come out with there own movie before this happens..I can see it now Google the movie, staring Keanu Reeves as Gmail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notsnarc Posted June 21, 2004 Author Share Posted June 21, 2004 how else would a company grow to get the money to build a good OS, though the net, google is in a better position then any other company to take on microsoft, and they can do it, the question is when and how Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slimy Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 os, not likely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neonerd Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 Google wont be the hot company forever, MSN or Yahoo! will once again take over as the search engine king. It just happens on the net. Then you guys will be talking about will so & so be making a OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themartin Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 os,not likely yea not sure about an google OS but a chat/messenger program would rock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoyablue Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 Maybe they could devise a better search/indexing mechanism for current OSs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xer34 Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 yeanot sure about an google OS but a chat/messenger program would rock I still dont see why. Just because its from google doesnt mean it will be good. ... ok I take that back. But why do we need more IM clients? As if we dont have enough already? Maybe they could devise a better search/indexing mechanism for current OSs. Now THAT would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfador Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 Maybe they could devise a better search/indexing mechanism for current OSs. I think they're doing that. edit: http://www.forbes.com/business/services/ne...rtr1379790.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notsnarc Posted June 21, 2004 Author Share Posted June 21, 2004 seriously though, if it was legal and I knew all of you, I would beat each of you 100 bucks that in 5 years google will start work on an OS ( GOS, lol) how many have noticed it's build up of programmers and lack of relations with microsoft, google is already thinking about it, and gates knows it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderRiver Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 an OS is defined as a collection of "programs and utilities" Search & Email alone doesn't constitute much of an OS. Frankly, writing an OS is not an easy task. Not to mention, Google may follow the trend of outsource the project to people in India. That would not create much more jobs in US would it?

bolix Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 MSN Explorer it's not the same as Microsoft Internet Explorer..... there's the difference that would be from MSN OS and Windows OS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notsnarc Posted June 21, 2004 Author Share Posted June 21, 2004 darn it where are the forward thinking people on this forum?! lol anyways though yahoo has defined themselves as a stable company, they don't grow, they gasp for breath google is an information company, not a search company, it goal is to organize the world's information, and organization has no use without a way to view that infomation, so why hasn't it partnered with microsoft and don't say cause of msn search, that wouldn't stand in the way of other stuff for them to partner on jsut trust me keep at least one eye on google, microsoft is gonna die many years before it does and somebody is gonna rise, so who better, redhat no, sun no, macintosh no, yahoo haha as if, lycos rofl, google likely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
