GooOS, the Google Operating System (kottke.org): "GooOS, the Google Operating System"

"Great post about what Google is up to by Rich Skrenta. He argues that Google is building a huge computer with a custom operating system that everyone on earth can have an account on."

I think that Google has an interesting business model, they have a LOT of servers and the money and talent to do something quite extraordinary. They also seem to be going after the same business that Microsoft wants to be in 3 years from now, with clients that can search both locally and remotely. It will be interesting to see if they come to blows, like Microsoft did with Netscape back in the 90's.
