Salient Features of the Google Operating System

Tuesday, September 30, 2008 |

Google has not yet built an operating system and Marissa mayer, the vice president of search products and user experience recently denied of any such possibility in future.
I still thought on this issue and just wildly thought of how the Operating system would look like. Being bad at photoshop and other image editors I thought I'd leave it to somebody else to put it on his blog, but the thing in my scope was to try and list the salient features of google OS, in case it comes. I've put a list of 5 such features.

Zero boot time : Yup, it sounds unpractical today and my XP, I feel takes an eternity to log on,more so if its AVG Antivrus starts scanning at start up. The puzzling part is that how is it achievable. Solution is simple. The PC will boot the boot OS, yes a boot OS for the OS. That boot OS will simply act as a platform for you to connect to the internet onto the google server and there your OS will lie, which will already be booted. SO you see, boot time is practically zero.

Security : My laptop is full of viruses. Even the antivirus gets puzzled figuring out what to do. Imagine gooogle using its security technology to do it for you. So you see the security lies in the hands of google and not your free antivirus.

Privacy : This seems quite vague, but let me tell you privacy could be more. Today you key in your password to log in to your laptop. Imagine a public/shared PC. Anyone can open, read and edit your documents and can take then in a thumb drive. Once you log out from your OS, the files on the server will automatically become inaccessible to all others.

License Cost : The cost of buying original softwares, word editors, antiviruses is high. Imagine all provided to free by google. The best of the tehnology for free.

File sharing : Today we email our files to send them to a remote desktop or pass them on through our thumb drive. In the google OS you will simply key in the google identity number(GIN) of your friend and simply push the file into his outdoor stack (A mail box).
