Everything Google has touched, turned to gold, except the
video....that
sucks
Actually, my experience with Google video has been with links
submitted via Digg, and it wasn't too bad. That was all free stuff,
of course.
Personally, I have trouble imagining that Google would want to get
into the Desktop OS business. Ubuntu isn't bad, but the only way
anyone will profit is if they sell computers in volume with Linux
pre-installed.
Try telling that to RedHat, or any of the other linux distro vendors.
As the article states, one possibility is a version of Ubuntu
tweaked for internal use. That would make more sense.
But they wouldn't go to all the trouble of re-skinning then.
