Google makes Web 2.0 people dream

  • 0 min read

I’€™m a dedicated Gmail and Google Calendar user, so while I enjoy Google’€™s products ‘€“ and would love to swap my Windows XP for something leaner and meaner ‘€“ I can’€™t really see a Google OS (that’€™s short for operating system, folks) coming anytime soon.

Some people can, actually a lot of people, but this actual post on Read/WriteWeb was a nice little read. They’€™re tackling the possibility of a Google OS from these three scenarios:

  • A web based desktop (i.e. operating system)
  • A full featured Linux distribution
  • A lightweight Linux distro and/or BIOS

    • Now, Web 2.0 lovers out there are preaching about online applications ‘€“ we already have them in Gmail, Spreadsheets and also from other companies than Google, Microsoft will join the fray soon for instance, a telling sign if any. With that in mind, and the possibilities that the next generation of web browsers (post IE7/FF2) might offer, well, then it could become a reality to actually run all your stuff online.

    But I don’€™t think so, not anytime soon. Still, it’€™s nice to dream every now and then, isn’€™t it?
