Why Google OS ? Why not Ubuntu

I think i am in love with Ubuntu, having used it for a long time, coming back to using it with 9.10 i have really liked it more and more ... I think we dont need a new OS, we need someone to build a standard OS like ubuntu. Google OS is only for netbooks and its not for PCs and if people think its the future .. yes we already have the future, we have linux distributions. All we have to do is start using it, then automatically you will find hardware manufactures building drivers for it.

I am using Dell studio 1555 and ubuntu 9.10
- I have a lexmark X2600 all in one printer and i got the driver from lexmark website and it works great, just took seconds to install, it was much faster than standard windows install.
- My SD card was recognized and i was able to read it, out of box.
- Everything works, except bluetooth, which i will check.
- Brightness control issue has been rectified with new kernel which is in RC stage.
- I have been using it for the past 5 days didnt have to restart even once. Windows 7 had to be restarted more than once a day, thanks to issues with flash player and skype not working.
