  • emes001, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It looks INSANELY horrible. I hope that this type of product never comes to market, based on if it's true.
  • beg513, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i hope its a prototype
  • MEvsYOU, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1wtf is that.. OS for kiddies?
  • AmZa, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0fake...i hope
  • bzImage, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0google makes his living selling ads, a OS with ads everywhere ? No thanks..
  • MWWLSE, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Wow. I agree, I sincerely hope that's fake.
  • whalesalad, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Why are people digging this, that is total BS photoshopping by some noobie. Obviously this isn't true. RETRACT YOUR DIGGS!!! I can't even believe gizmodo reported that, explains why Engadget is on top.
  • techguy420, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0what is up with the explaination! how do they get all that out of the pic and the "heard" information?
    BS!
  • mr.tech, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0look at the icons in the system tray, they are from windows
  • dawks-, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0yea this is a waste of time..

    reminds me of windows 3 btw :D
  • xenoputtss, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Im not digging this because it looks to fake. It looks like windows XP with a new skin on it. Look, the start button, clock, taskbar are all in the same place as XP.

    It does look like the menu behaves like ?gnome? on linux though.
  • linuxbox, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Microsoft BOB?
  • apotropaic, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0this is a dupe, a fake and completely stupid!
  • MSDommell, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0prolly just a kde skin or photoshop
  • adml_shake, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0this looks like some really bad windows skin...
  • JoeDonH, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0LMAO, I'm so stupefied, I can't even think of a smart ass comment to make.
  • sigUVa, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This is why I read the comments, then the article, and then decide to digg or not. 251 diggs in 15 mins. Effing sheep dugg this.
  • beecheyj_14, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0looks like a windows theme to me
  • nmber3pencil, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0There is no way in hell a Google product would look/feel/function like that. Definetely a fake.
  • blhack, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0wow, if this is real it looks like they took the Mac OSX approach.
    "Functionality!??!?! WTF IS THAT!!!, get me fisher price on the phone!"
  • 21.0, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0weak
  • nunofgs, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Obviously a fake. In the image there's a reference to a GeeeM. Google it and you come up with
    http://spaces.msn.com/members/ygt/Blog/cns!1p1maFy_9IByOCgS5-BHXAbA!859.entry

    On that page there's a suposedly leaked Google Talk (which they thought was GeeeM). Take a look at it. Looks exactly like this google os crap.
  • MuzikFreec, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Ok, c'mon people. Did we really digg this to the front page? This is just sad.
  • WickedOwl, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i agree - it better be much more than a google-looking version of windows.
  • theone3, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Total crap. Please unDigg!
  • hybrid8, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0what i dont get is the build number
  • Gillz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I think its too early for a Google OS. I mean, if they have completed that much, if its true, then the release date would PROBABLY be around windows vista. Who wants to compete with Windows?
  • Dracos, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I personally don't believe the Google OS will ever happen (nor a Google browser). That desktop theme was done by someone who isn't very good at UI design. Google would never release something so cartoonish.
  • UGM2099, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0reported for being LAME!
  • yensed, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Reported For LAMENESS...
  • fuRy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0bbaaaddd uglyyyyyy skin =(
  • frontbrain, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0fake and ugly
  • HellSpawn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It's windows with a theme (an ugly as heck theme), and it's bullsh*t
  • zapada, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Horrible, and obviously a fake!
  • krum0786, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0y is this just now gettin on Digg? This has been up on Google Image forever.... u just needed to type in Google OS... its obviously fake... Google couldn't possibly come out with anythin worse lookin even if it was real..
  • positron, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0this story making it to the fron page is proof that there are alot of morons using digg. my faith in the world has been lost. i can only hope that aliens blow us up soon.
  • renohardcore, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0thats hideous
  • pacificdrums, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I think this would be cool! I am sure they would add to it.
  • NobodyYouKnow, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0will someone please give us their honest opinion of this? :)
  • joel_wylde, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0it doesnt look that bad
  • faentur, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Even the Site itself says it is a fake. geeze people. If I make a photoshop of a Yahoo OS and post it, Will you guys digg that too?

    /sad
    /actually spent time reading the page :(
  • treelovinhippie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I swear, Google will soon own Microsoft!

    Vista is such a piece of crap, if Google come in with a decent OS, they could very easily take the market.

    PS, notice how Microsoft has been following in Google's footsteps in looking into VoIP and also buying out telcos.

    I think Microsoft has had its time... bring on GOOGLE :D
  • jay314, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0How the hell are 300 people on digg so gullible and stupid?

    This is obviously a crappy fake by someone with little design experience and only simple photoshop skills. The icons are all straight from Google web pages, except the network icon which was stolen from XP. Not to mention IT'S UGLY. And why the hell would they put "Google OS" in the title bar of every window?

    If you people are duped by even the most obvious crap on the internet, how the hell do you live? By the way, I have a friend in Nigeria who needs to get some money out of the country...

  • zone, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0my eyes! that's sooo ugly, and fake.... G-WorkSheet??? G-TypeMachine??? what kind of names are those? so fake it's just sad..
  • beg513, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0i checked the site the make of this admitted he made a fake I'm sorry for submitting this garbage to digg and for having it become front page news.
  • Singee15, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0http://www.mach30.nl/talpa/?p=54
  • karl1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0GNU/linux with a hurd kernel.....then it would just be GNU/Hurd

    so obviously a fake even in the way they wrote it.
