Google did it!

They finally did it! Google is going to release a desktop OS. That will teach those who were joking about it to be careful, eh?

There were numerous warnings and rants about so-called "Google OS" over the years. Usually people explaining why it will be "worse than Microsoft" were citing privacy reasons and some half-formed fears (a Big Corporation will be holding all your data in their online storage... they surely are aiming for the world domination!). Other tended to use the name "Google OS" to refer to the package of online software services provided by Google. Well, according to the BBC article, it will be just another OS, not some evil scheme for world domination. Bit of a disappointment for all the conspiracy theorists out there.
