Rumour has it that Google are developing a browser. I expect that they have made a bad mistake if they are not.

My money would be on them coming out with some sort of OS or at least some sort of run-anywhere terminal program that hooks into their powerful platform.

For those that want to, and are willing to see google’s ads, the need for relatively ’smart’ desktop is going to diminish. PCs could be replaced with relatively dumb ‘Gboxes’, powered by ‘G’OS that ‘Glink’ into the ‘Gplatform‘. (Now that I think more, isn’t that what the Xbox is trying to do?)

This is all speculation. Time will tell.

UPDATE: The more I think on this the more I see the similarities between where Google and MS are heading. The only major difference appears to be where the funding comes from. Google’s from advertising, MS from licencing, although that could all change.
