Google at work on desktop Linux | The Register

Goobuntu eh. I’d get excited about this if:

  • 1) I thought it might actually be a real product
  • 2) they planned to port all their windows software to Linux
  • 3) google gives back to the Ubuntu community

Google has confirmed it is working on a desktop linux project called Goobuntu, but declined to supply further details, including what the project is for.

It’s possible that it’s just one of the toys Googleplex engineers play with on Fridays, when they get time off from buffing the search engine code or filtering out entries about Tiananmen Square.
