Goobuntu : Google OS

The register has an interesting article about Google. It claims Google is coming up with a desktop Linux distribution. The name is Goobuntu.googbuntu A derivative from Unbuntu Linux. For right now, Google is using the OS internally. But with Microsoft on the horizon, with there search engine and their new advertising solution, I just wonder how long this can only be for internal use. We got a sneak peak of the desktop. Just from the screenshot, I think it needs lot more work, to come even close to competing with MS Windows.

    Wait a min I throat it was going to be based on gnome??? That screen shot does not look like it’s based on gnome at all!!!! It looks too much like windows for me to believe this is a legitimate screen shot more of some guy creating a theme for windows that looks a bit Google.

    “…with there search engine and there new advertising solution…”
