Not surprising at all, I predicted a Google OS about a decade ago
So how will it work ? When you install trillian will somebody get a "Click here to install Google Chrome Desktop" option if they do a Custom Install ? So if they do express GC Desktop installs ?
When you boot the OS you will get a series of ads to click to get it to boot ? Google own the rights to everything you put on your PC too ? Keep track of your useage for ads ? Man it would be class hehe
I seriously doubt it would be any kind of competition, but you never know. I think youd have to be a few bricks short of a full load to install it ....
