Google could be an operating system

RUMOURS are all abuzz that the search outfit Google is sitting down and writing its own operating system.The rumour started on http://www.scripting.com/ and is based on nothing other than the fact that the writer Dave Winer thinks it odd that Google has hired Microsoft’s operating system architect, Mark Lucovsky.
Winer reasons that they wouldn’t hire someone like that just to make the tea. Fair enough, if an OS is on the drawing board, chances are it would be based on something Vole has already done anyway, thus Lucovsky’s skills would be required.
