That doesnt look like it came from google. I personally think its a fake but you never know.
The GUI does suck though
Although it kinda seems like they would be creating an OS
They have made a chat program, a desktop searching program, Google mail is POP3 compatible, a photo manager program, and there will be more, much much more, just look in the google labs page.
So i do think they may be up to something but thats is not google os that looks more like someone trying to skin windows
oh and at the very bottom of there labs page where it says are you passionate these things...mayby you should work for google area \" ? operating systems\" is one of the things now why would you need to be passionate about those if they werent planning it

I wouldn't be surprised if Google cracked out an operating system within the next few years, but the screenshot mentioned seems kiddish, flashy, and very unprofessional. I would expect something more similar to a Linux distro or Mac OSX. I am not saying that it is fake, just that I am hoping for a new GUI.
What I meant was, it would have a very unique and attractive GUI, similar to that of several Linux distros. I would expect it's own desktop enviroment, a mixture of Linux (for the advanced users), Mac OSX (for eye-candy), and Windows (for simplicity). It would take the best of the bests.
I hope that clears it up. ;)

I don't agree with the professionality aspect of MacOSX. I'd say the \"eye candy\" should come from OSX. :)

Yeah, i think they would. They're not into looks much, at least that's how it appears.
That's not the impression I get when using services such as Gmail. :S
Really look at Gmail. Is there any fancy stuff? (other than the Gmail logo) They just have their stuff nice and plain. I like it that way, I was just commenting how they weren't into alot of flashy graphics.

I think that if Google allowed news of an impending GoogOS to leak, it would have hit more than one Chinese website. I think I'm partial to agreeing with whoever said that it looks like someone just skinned Windows.
Would google really call their root folder \"Groot\"? It looks much too simplistic for a viable working OS.
Until I see/hear more from a credible source, I'm chalking this one up in the \"fake\" column.
Thats a fake for sure, mayby not soo much windows after i look again it seems like a bad skin for Mac, not osx but there were some bad skins in os9. But thats definitly not google's style
