Is Google Developing an OS to Compete with Windows?

With the release this week of Google Chrome, it has raised a number of questions and reminders about the direction of Google meaning that
- They have huge piles of cash and unlimited resources to develop whatever they want
- They are working on Google Android a MobileOS
- The are currently following the old Microsoft model of vertically integrating with companies and then building a better application and cutting them out of the pie. See Chrome and Knol.
- They Can!
Meaning that if I were Google, I would be working on an open-source OS based on the Linux Kernal that simplifies and streamlines the process. Use their weight to get it to the public and make it user friendly (unlike Linux)
I don't have any tech details or rumors to confirm. But just connect the dots and you will know as well.

Google seems to know what they are doing. They continue to dominate if with increasing competition.
Another google application, it should be good. They know how to corner the market.
it will be good to look at google and microsoft compete for the top os
Maybe they should consider giving some of those profits back to their shareholders in the form of dividends instead of just spending it on whatever they want.
Google are bound to be doing this! If you think about it they caught Microsoft with their pants down with the search engine business and even google docs is effecting word / excel sales. OS would be the logical next step!
