Everyone kind of knew this would end up happening. They were saying this
when they put out google docs. They thought that this eventually lead to a
new OS.  However, it isn't really new, just Linux with a google front end.
Also here is a link to the blog for the people that only know english.

This isn't really surprising at all.  Google's used a customized Linux internally for a few years now, so it's not surprising that they would release a version to the public eventually.  I bet the Ubuntu guys are pretty nervous right now, though.

The big question is if Google can address the big issues that every other Linux distro has been struggling with for the past twenty years - inter-compatibility with other distros, software and hardware support, etc.  If they can't get it together before ReactOS becomes stable, then we shouldn't worry too much.  Not that we should take the news lightly, but a thought.

Not to lessen the importance of Goglix, but ReactOS will have great chances
to get an huge share. The amount and quality of software & and hardware
available for windows, together with the advantages of open source, make a
winner combination.

The time at which it becomes stable enough to start being used widely will
most probably have also a big impact on success.

I am sorry for not being able to contribute for now, but I heartly intend to
do it when possible with your permission.

I do well with asm, c & c++, have experience in windows including drivers,
have developed RT-OSs for embedded systems.

I always wanted to substitute the process/thread scheduler and dpc handling
by compatible but much improved versions based in my experience, and I hope
you will find it useful once I could get ready to participate.

For now, thanks to all for this effort. The world needs ReactOS!

@Jose

Hiya and welcome to ReactOS. You should visit our irc channel: server
irc.freenode.net, #reactos channel so we can talk about details.

Best regards
