"So what are the implications for a Linux-based Google OS? If
they stick to a genuine Free/Open Source development and
distribution model, and don't try to sneak in nasty stuff like an
ultimate sneaky data collector with access to everything on the
user's computer, it could be very cool. They have the size and
clout to do nice preinstalled Linux OEM deals, and to improve
hardware and peripheral support. We could see a sleek, attractive,
efficient interface, and perhaps, at last, genuine cross-platform
applications."
