gOS - a good OS for your Mum
Found on The Register on Sunday, 24 August 2008
When it launched onto the scene late last year, gOS (which stands for good OS) made quite a splash for getting Linux into the U.S. retail giant WalMart.
gOS has one simple goal: make a lightweight, web-heavy operating system that anyone can use.
As soon as gOS loads, you'll see the new Google Gadgets sitting off to the left of the screen, not unlike the Gadgets shelf that ships with Windows Vista.
Sorry, but I'm not going to trust anything that comes from the Google complex. They haven't exactly done much to gain a reputation as a company which respects privacy; quite the opposite. Google collects your search queries, ignores private roads for its streetview, wants you to upload your data to its services and so on.
