As I thought a linux distro with a nice user interface and I imagine easy setup. Others are avalible but of course do not have the same brand behind them. A good way though to introduce people to linux and a non ms system without having to buy a mac.

looks interesting, with google docs and firefox you're more or less covered if you're an average user. Didn't read too close about it, but all I can think of the might be missing are

icq & msn support? http://www.pidgin.im/ does that

flash in the browser?

download and watch movies? supported

There are rumours that Google is building an OS of it's own. an Ubuntu variant - as that is what they use in the office and to power servers etc.

Google has always been a big linux user. When they first started they had a load of old desktops cobbled together to build the server(s) and I think they ran on that model for a long time. Using cheap commodity part which they can just add in extra nodes when needed, keeps the system flexible. What they do now I don't know. It would be nice to think they still have the original servers running away somewhere still doing there bit occasionally. I expect they have died.
