Scarecrow Man Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Rumors that Google plans to encroach on the desktop turf of Microsoft flittered around the Internet on Tuesday.Apparently, the chatter sprang from a Jan. 20 Financial Times story, which reported that Google was working on switching its in-house computers over to the Linux operating system. According to the story, Google is developing its own version of Ubuntu, the software suite developed by tech entrepreneur Mark Shuttleworth.That in of itself is no big deal. Scores of companies have swapped Microsoft for Linux.And there was nothing in the FT story that indicated Google planned to sell its Linux system, known internally as Goobuntu, to the public. Nonetheless, a story in The Register on Tuesday hinted that Google could do just that.Full StoryI think this is nothing more than rumors and here say, but we're getting closer and closer to my previous statement of Google taking over the world.
