It is a large step from a web-based application to an OS, While I believe that Google would be capable of it, It would take years to do,and would come nowhere close to Linux or Windows in popularity or function. programs would have to be written for it, and an entirely new infrastructure would have to be made to accommodate it. I believe that pledging yourself to switching OSes before an alternative even comes out may be jumping the gun a bit. While Microsoft is the giant of today with operating systems, It does it's job well, and earned its place at the head of the pack. Windows is the most feature-rich OS out there, and I don't believe an OS by Google would do too well.
