So, basically, the story is that Google might have an upcoming OS in the making. The long-awaited and possible rumour has been spreading for a while now. But, Net Applications might have some evidence, to prove that Google may actually be working on new OS. This is because, "Net Applications uses software sensors at 40,000 Web sites around the world to measure traffic and come up with its stats. These stats include operating system, browser, IP address, domain host, language, screen resolution, and a referring search engine, according to Vince Vizzaccaro, executive vice president of marketing and strategic alliances for Net Applications." All that being said, it can pretty much track everything that you use to do your work on your computer. Apparently, when they looked at their stats from Google employees, only 2 thirds of them showed what operating system they were running. This meant that the other 1 third of them, didn't have their OS showing. While, their OS was hidden, every other piece of information was able to be gathered from the computer, including browser, etc. This means that they [Google] had it purposely blocked. This may mean that those 1/3 of people with the hidden OS may be using a possible Google OS. They could be testing it out, programming it, to see if it works properly and all that mumbo-jumbo. Clay Ryder, though, thinks that they are instead, working on an application infrastructure because Google is not in the OS business. But, i mean, anything's possible, and me [the Google fanboy] hopes that they are working and testing a new OS. If they come out with information on the new OS, i'm definitely jumping on that band wagon. I'll definitely switch to a Google OS, as soon as it comes out. Though, it may be in the beta forever (see Gmail). Nonetheless, it'll be a couple years before an OS from Google will be released. If they ever do release an OS, that is.
