God knows how big Google will grow!

Saw this and nearly posted it also.

Whilst I fear a Google monopoly to a degree, I fear an M$ one much much more.

Google has no monopoly, I have one at home to play

Seriously, I have no fear on google, M$ has until now the desktop market (thanks god, still a platform minority on big datacenters, however not a minority on number of machines, cause one thing done with microsoft requires at least 5 times more machines than done with UX and variants).

They will continue to release stuff and more stuff, by what i'm seing, they all need ALOT of work b before making mainstream, and competion nowadays is quite large.

Relax people.

i dont fear google, coz they do no evil

But no i dont fear them..if they grow too large actions will be taken against them. And a operating system that many use is good, easy for game and other devs to contribute to.

And there is a diffrence between markets aswell. For example Console is HUGE in the states, but in europe PC is bigger cause we have had a PC friendly attitude with discounts etc. And google needs to make one that works on both Mac and PC wich is a challange..

look up, linux -.-
google is going for very lightweight. THey arent interested in OS market, but in web market. The whole purpose of their OS will be getting online.

No,
It's just another linux disto, might be very similar to moblin. Google also hasnt let people down by closing protocols and interoperability. The Google Wave protocol (An open extension of XMPP) is a good example of this, as is Chrome being OSS.
