Exactly, and it's already available - I posted a link to it a few weeks ago.
It's a bundle of Internet apps: virus sofware (Norton, though .. yech), messenger, search tools, etc. Overall a decent offering but most people have the majority of it already.

Nope....

These rumors have been around almost as long as Google has. Who cares?

yeah you did in this thread

But I beat ya by three months in this thread :winkwink:

Apparently he isn't talking about googlepack anyhow

and re Norton.. it seems to be a love hate relationship most people have with it. I am both ways, I have PC's that have ran it for years with no probs and others that it has fucked up so bad I have to reformat :)

google sucks, anyone who uses that search engine to search is a fucking clueless moron...

anyone who would use any of their other services needs to be institutionalized.

Wake up google has sold out and has nothing left to give Only take from you

pretty decent, compared to what google has been spitting lately.

MS making a cummmmmback in the SE market~!

True dat brotha.

It used to be the fastest and best. But the greed for the ad dollars has their results so fucked. You get more relevant from Yahoo or MSN now. Pretty said really. But I guess they are laughing all the way to the bank.

:disgust

All Your Base Are Belong To Google...

Heard it here first? This rumor has been going around literally since like 2001. way to not be on top of things.

Wow, welcome to the last year's news column. Google has been rumored to be potentially in the OS & PC market, looking for product to ship to a major retailer (like, say, WalMart) as an internet appliance. Literally open the box and away you go.

I suspect it would be a pretty difficult for them to do mostly because when people buy PCs, they have other plans besides just the net. Games, other software, etc. The frustration of not being able to run this or that is one of the things that has kept Apple from being a happy hippy system for the last 15 years (they are finally changing). Google would have to roll a pretty big rock up a pretty big hill in a market they are not part of. Tough going.

However, they do have a ton of cash, big positive cash flow, and the ability to encourge third parties to join the game. If it happens, it would have to happen pretty soon to make it to christmas.

Maybe a windows dual boot?

google will take over the planet..

Google is unstoppable, next step is NASA

old rumor.

google will rul ethe world in the end.. bill gates will make dinner for them in the morning

you honestly think Microsoft is going to allow google to take a precentage of there market? 1. whatever they build won't be better than vista. you can't pop out a stable OS in a few months or even a year. Especially if its going to be a GUI and run on pc. 2. 90% of the software market is Windows, unless Google plans on selling this OS no software vendor is going to waste time creating apps. 3. Google has stepped on so many toes, with there i want to be in this market too... They're going to fall hard soon. 4. All those big computer companies like Dell, IBM, HP, etc... they have contracts with Microsoft, google doesn't have enough money to make them (the computer companies) want to fuck over Microsoft and get sued.

Google is nice... all the hype behind them but if you want to look at a sucessful Search Engine business look at Yahoo. They had the same hype as Google but they didn't go the every is free and still in beta route that Google is going. Googles SE is great but, this is a company that thinks they can take on Microsoft (lets be real bs aside), Paypal/Ebay, Adobe, Gov't, PC Companies (creating there own PC), etc... you're crazy.

When the Windows license is half the price of a low end PC ummm yes they can hurt MS. First off, every computer in Wal-Mart would be with the free / super cheap OS. I just saw a computer package online for $379 with a 17 inch monitor and a printer at BEST BUY. Take out the printer and monitor and you're looking at $279 for a PC. How much of that was windows? :2 cents:

you heard rumors?

why not, after all they had a great succes with the g-string

this is old news, so this thread is useless...

anyone want some banners designed? :pimp

My thoughts exactly. Google would be far better cleaning up the crap they already have rather than get started on a doomed to fail OS.

google sucks
