most <A title="hottest" href="http://www.kottke.org/05/08/googleos-webos">talked</A> <A title="buzzwords" href="http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/01/31/google_goes_desktop_linux/">about</A> Web products. People can't stop discussing it - and even
imagining <A title="screenshots" href="http://arstechnica.com/journals/microsoft.ars/2005/9/5/1130">screenshots</A> for it! Seems like everyone <A title="expect" href="http://money.cnn.com/magazines/business2/business2_archive/2006/01/01/8368125/index.htm">expects</A> Google to get into direct competition with Microsoft, by
releasing an operating system. However Google <A title="refuses" href="http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20060131-6087.html">refuses</A> such claims and even <A title="makes%20fun" href="http://www.time.com/time/photoessays/2006/inside_google/4.html">makes fun</A> of this kind of buzz. Nevertheless we decided
to analyze where Google may be heading with their product strategy - and from that
determine what are the chances of a GoogleOS.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/googleos_what_to_expect.php"><H2>Possibilities</H2></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/googleos_what_to_expect.php"><P>We see 3 scenarios for a GoogleOS:</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/googleos_what_to_expect.php"><UL>
