For such a thing to happen you'd need ultra-high bandwidth links at every home-user end, prolly direct fibre-optic links. Else you'd wait forever for the net based app to download and execute. While this might very well be the case in future - I don't think its economically and infrastructure-wise feasible at this point.

QUOTE(jwcgator @ Dec 23 2004, 02:04 PM)  The people at google are smart! They could easily make an OS! They would make it so that viruses could not infect it or the files!!! But It would be compatible with todays software and games!!! Yay Or Nay? I think i would buy the OS by goggle just for fun. |

I don't get the point of 'Online OS'. Well, Google has already launched G-Drive which lets you store your files online. Now its trying to make you store your OS online! I mean, what does Google get by stealing our hard drives? Is it that Segate is Google's personal rival?!! Why store all our data on Google's Servers when we have a 120 GB HDD empty on localhost! Internet and all is fine, there will be just ONE copy of the Google OS in the world - on their servers, but is it worth all the bandwidth? There's no point in downloading the system drivers each time you need them! Next time Google has a brainwave, I think they'll steal everything, and we'll be left only with our Modem! |

Google would be able to see what we get upto !
But then you would probably get everything Google free . Just think free google earth pro , but then theres one problem. Like mac's and Linux , some Windows Kernal progrmas would not be able to run on it , Unless it used the windows kernal , or Wine or something like that |

QUOTE(Dizasta @ Dec 24 2004, 10:13 AM) I agree with MajesticFrog on that. What is needed is an Open Source OS that has the look and feel of Windows (but without falling into copyright traps), that way, most people would not be bothered with making the switchover. Linux seems to have promise and I expect that in the next 15 years, it should catch up enough with non-nerds to make it a reasonable competitor for MS Windows. I actually gave Linux (Redhat 9) a shot for about a year on my personal Laptop. After getting through the initial furies of installing any new application (which is a bit of a process in itself) the going was pretty easy. The one and only downside were the broad specrum of applications available on the Widows platform - which were not (even comparable apps) available for Linux. this unfortunately drove me right back to Windows. I'm wholly in support of freeware, especially those developed by amatures & professionals just for the point of making supremely effecient products. I guess I may have to wait a while before attempting to switch completely over to Linux (or I can afford another computer to complment my present one). A Google OS that is free (I most certainly would not venture to purchase one unless it is massively cheap), and encompasses the positives of Linux, Windows & Mac - or be truely indpendent of these while being totally efficient - would actually be the trimming to the cake - as far as computing is concerned. I can actually percieve what such a scenario would b like - where you load a basic package (of the OS) from a floppy/ CD onto your drive - it automatically connects to a host that lets it download the entire Google OS through P2P (like a lot of other Linux distros are available through). It then provides a menu of every concievable application type pvailable and you just need to select the types/ ones you require and - again a download procedure that automatically configures the software. Free ofcost - efficient - automatically updated without leeching private information and secure. |

I aim for functionality.. what an easy OS do if all you need is already there presented to you in all colors. In a few weeks if you play around with your system, you will surely hit a big black wall where you want to do something and it was really easy to do, the OS have GUI system to do the job for you but the one you need is not in the pre-fab GUI world. --- I prefer moderate operation OS with high functionality.. and a configuration system that wont make it hard to configure.. [ex. Fedora core, hard configuration] --- I dont mind to pay the OS if the upgrades are free.. |
