Because Microsoft is an evil dictator, but Google is a benevolent dictator.

Anyway, Google OS would probably be Linux based.

I'm on google talk right now...without the client it's basically just the same as AIM. I'm using gaim for this. There are plenty of tutorials for how to configure your client to get on...I recommend trying out digg.com and looking for the google talk threads. If you're interested in talking, IM me @ alexpelan(at)gmail(dot)com

To download google talk go here:

http://www.google.com/talk/

exactly as above to access the webpage...

http://www.google.com/talk does not work...

wow this really is real. But make sure you type it as Clark said, with a back slash at the end, or else you don't get the big prize.

You can find me at Conor.Ryan (at) gmail.com

Wow this is really nice. It is much more basic then AIM, yet does the same and more.

You can find me at tedboucher (at) gmail.com

Google does search. Google does not do horoscopes, financial advice or chat

Someone needs to change that page

Google is fighting on too many fronts, I hope they don't lose focus.

The Google Talk is pretty nice. It's very clean. It docks itself onto the right side of the screen and all of the conversations are side by side. It's very nice and organized. You can talk to me at jdkane527@gmail.com.

I am on it now. That was a fast download, for one. I have not talked with anybody yet.

Also, while reading the Google Talk FAQ, I came across some Gmail invites. Now Google is giving away Gmail accounts... (Well, they're inviting people.)

I'm really happy now. I just double clicked the top bar of Google Talk, lo and behold, it merged into my Google Desktop sidebar! I couldn't ask for more.

in case anyone wants to use the google talk with trillian, GAIM, iChat (im using trillian so it is the only thing i have tested) or something else basically you need to setup a connection as like you are logging on to a jabber server. The server is talk.google.com use your gmail login and password....feel free to test by msgin me =) skowski@gmail.com

actually now that i look there is a page that tells you how to set up this in third party applications http://www.google.com/support/talk/b....py?topic=1415

For anyone talking about the Google OS...It's already being planned. Here's an article about it.

It will be called GooOS.
Tip: If you haven't invested in Google yet, do so NOW!!!
