- yellowbkpk, on 10/12/2007, -3/+18It looks like a windows login screen replacement theme.
- azharc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12It is fake,the guy admitted it.He used SWiSHMax

Someone posted that he was talking to a girl on IM and she said her dad had a copy of the Google OS and he gave a link to this SAME video. No digg, reported dupe.
- mighty_mouth, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11Source please?
- babbling, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7I think they have acknowledged that they have an internal operating system that is a modified Ubuntu, but they have stated that it is not intended for the public, only for their internal use.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8doesn't google deny rumors about everything?
- gekkokid, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6this has been on the front page before with a different story attached to it
- t0ny, on 10/12/2007, -7/+12Fake.
- azharc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I don't think it is a Logon replaced screen because the Envision logo comes scrolling in from the left,which can't be done in Windows logon themes,however this is a fake,it can be made in anything,Flash,Nero Vision even Windows Movie Maker.
- wolrah, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Agreed. Looks almost exactly like the Windows XP logon screen.
- xedeon, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5Seriously that is FAKE! and stop submitting it too please, lets keep digg nice and fresh! ohh and FYI anyone can do that with a linux distro..
- EmileVictor, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Since when was there a username AND password box in Windows XP? I thought you could choose your user, and then imput the password. Otherwise, you could imput both in a generic windows login box. This ISN'T an XP theme.
- Swimming_Bird, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Dear lord, this was just on the front page a week ago. Come on people.
- Profiler, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3It's probably just a flash movie, becuase it's really not that hard to do something like that in flash.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6It's a custom xp boot screen, with a custom windows login screen.
- joshrt, on 10/12/2007, -6/+8Agreed. Some dude posted this a couple weeks ago.
- krum0786, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2WTH? Why can't anyone here search before posting storie. Especially ones that are both old and fake.
- carpespasm, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4looks too much like an XP boot screen, reported lame you could make this in about 20 min with a couple utilities and mspaint
- ChaosKing, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3And the chance of someones dad giving out that video without being sued is?
I doubt the video is real. Even if it was, it would of been bigger news than a "YouTube" video. - Jozer99, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Not XP, you can't have user name and password boxes on the welcome screen, modified or not. Looks like someone spent 5 minutes fiddling with a linux distro. Doesn't look at all professional.
- tidu, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5...didn't Google even deny rumors about their supposed "operating system"?
- undigg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I suggest next time you find some real technology news.
- n3tfury, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2doesn't look professional? google's homepage is pretty simplistic, yet i suppose that's not professional enough for you too? fake or not, this simple layout is EXACTLY how Google would go about creating a OS log in screen imo.
- D4V1S, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4the one who posted it before said it was her dad's copy of it
- knyghtfyre, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I concur
- pacdude, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1old old old. do people read the frontpage anymore?
- crazchris, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Um... this was posted last week.. it's fake...
http://img151.imageshack.us/my.php?image=envision8at.swf - kmarchiori, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Was It? I usually check every day. Must have been during Mardi Gras.
- kruykaze, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yeah i agree it cannot be anything but a fake.
- birdadderley, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2i agree
- tidu, on 10/12/2007, -10/+10Old.
- trajceski, on 10/12/2007, -4/+4it seems like fake
- mike_p, on 10/12/2007, -4/+4This looks so so so fake... not to brag (because i'm an amateur at best [to be modest])... I think I can fabricate this with relative ease.
Then again, Google is known for their simplicity. Any worthy evidence of an actual Google Linux OS? - mmansoor, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Dupe post. Whats wrong with digg ???
No Digg - Jammerdelray, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Fake!
- williamw, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2dam old
- bdude, on 10/12/2007, -6/+4really good, great find.
- bglav, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0You're not serious... Are you?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -5/+3isn't it just a linux distro?

http://aljitech.com/ Free Stuff - DonSayers, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1if you click previous video that guy is an awesome guitar player
can some one say windows blinds??? - OOTay, on 10/12/2007, -4/+1hard to believe... i digg it tho
- sintaks, on 10/12/2007, -6/+3Most excellent.
I heard something about Google doing a Debian offshoot. Is this it? Or something totally new? - Josto, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0probably real.
i mean, if you were a tester for google os it would have to be way in cognito.
and your comparing this to a Flash file (swf)? This is on an actual computer.
its all a conspiracy. there are secret google workers who have infiltrated digg and say its fake, cause its real. in fact, apple is also in choate with google, and soon, the biggest news ever will come from them... remember...
Goopod - jeffburg, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1if its real its cool..... i think
oh wait its not cool. What good would a googleOS be?
still gets a digg - kamal, on 10/12/2007, -7/+1this is a xp theme, faker...............lol.............lol
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -12/+5This is actually genuine... And no, it's not old... This is an alpha capture put our by a friend of a google developer while he was visiting his house. True..
