The LA Times is speculating the arrival of a Google PC running an OS also made by Google. "Sources say Google has been in negotiations with Wal-Mart, among other retailers, to sell a Google PC. The machine would run an operating system created by Google, not Microsoft's Windows, which is one reason it would be so cheap - perhaps as little as a couple of hundred dollars." They also say that Larry Page, Google's co-founder and president of products, will give a keynote speech at CES coming Friday, announcing all this.

Just wonder, if Google would base their OS on BeOS. They have many in common. Fast, Minimalistic, and solid.
.
In all its greatness (I'm a long-time BeOS user, heck, I still use Zeta on a day-to-day basis), BeOS has serious limitations as well. There are two really obvious ones: it's single user, and networkig on BeOS is spartan and underdeveloped. The former is being worked on by yT, but the latter is something I do not know of if yT is workong on it.
And we would've known if Google would've bought the rights to BeOS. Does Google own Access by any chance?
