Seems that Google is going to produce it's own Operating System in opposition to MS Windows, is this likely??

Still better then a mac.

Then again, getting your faced bashed against a concrete block is better then using a mac...

Another compatability nightmare for the Ubi devs? Will it even run games? it could actually hurt the gaming industry quite badly if it does not.

You know guys, computers aren't just used for gaming. In fact that is a very small chunk of what computers are used for (and shrinking I would have to think). There are good OSs out there that don't run games.

PD

That's right, and you can't get CP/M or Concurrent Dos either,

wonder what ever happened to Digital Research, probably went bust!!

From what I understand Google is going to go full court press on this OS. If it is anywhere near as good as the Google search engine...IMO...it will give MS a good run for the money.
