Google OS Video?!?

Feb 26, 2006 8:08AM PST

hey guys, found this on digg.

It's just the load screen, but is this google's OS loading up? or is it just windows with an fancy dress on?

you make the call, here's the video: http://media.putfile.com/Google-Envision.

Enjoy!

It could just be an employee filming it...

Google says they have an OS, its just for internal use. Its either a fake, or just an employee showing what it looks like.

My Guess...

Is that they have made a flash login manager for Linux. That looked pretty slick though. I also like the name.

Hey, new to the Buzz Out Loud forums! I don't really think that's genuine. It just seems to me that "Google Envision" stays at the same resolution from BIOS/CMOS post to the log-in screen...

its cool in all.............. but it might just be someone hyaving fun with emulation and made the login screen and boot scree and it just be on an XP machine or something.
