I just read the article about just saying what you have to say (http://raganwald.posterous.com/youre-probably-going-to-downvote-this-but). And here's what I have to say. Linux is awesome, and it's too sad that there's no good Desktop OS around it (and don't count Gnome, KDE, nor XFCE as desktop environment, they are not, they are a go-buy-a-mac-if-you-love-the-cmd-line-and-want-to-keep-your-hair desktop environments. You'll ask, Why Google ? Well, it can be IBM, or Intel, or anyone with cash willing to rock the Linux on the desktop. Because really, without that, no developer will make the first step, and when a hero does, the project dies within a tiny period of time. So please Google, make this happen, and give back to the community. I'm sure lot of beautiful programs will be made with love on a GLOS - Google Linux OS.
