You are already doing what appears to be everything using Google, Then download & burn a CD of Ubuntu or PclinuxoS, they prett much install themselves and if you want hand holding visit the linux user instructions. Com-on you can do it. Actually install on an old desktop first if you are worried. They really do install themselves. See can a free download/burn/install can do for your ego Best regards Ye’er on, If you have ever done MS trash/hangup/repair. You are already doing what appears to be everything using Google,

Installing, updating or deleting software has never been easier. It is on par with or perhaps better than OS X. It installs in 20 minutes flat without hassles. If Linux would be backed by Google, missing drivers or codecs would be a thing of the past. What Linux really is lacking are user-friendly applications - high end creative software, e.g. Photoshop, iMovie, Final Cut, Illustrator, Catia, ProEngineer etc. It is true, if Google could provide the missing software, competitively priced, it would be a big blow against Microsoft. ...and a big leap for mankind.

It is true, if Google could provide the missing software, competitively priced, it would be a big blow against Microsoft.

…and a big leap for mankind.

IF Google wants to be on the desktop with their applications like Google Desktop Search and Google Gadgets, why not create their own desktop and cut out the middleman?

I trust Google. I love Google -- I manage a few domain names through their free Google Apps service. I use Gmail exclusively, and I like Google Docs, Google Search, Google Analytics, etc. And, I would love to switch several machines from Windows to Linux, but I hear that the install still isn't easy enough for a 'regular user' to do. Now, if Google and Linux released an OS that was easy to install and use, I'd be first in line to download it (or buy it). The author is right. I trust Google.

Whether all this flies or not, one thing is for sure. Search advertising will never be the same again. Although Google AdWords is far from perfect, it is SOOOO far ahead of Yahoo!'s and Microsoft's offering, it's like night and day. But I wouldn't be so quick to bet against Microsoft.
