Its purpose is different. gOS was designed to be a frontend to the Internet that most people use it for -- mail, IRC, surfing, FaceBook/MySpace. It also had to have a small footprint. Remember that gOS was introduced as part of the Everex box that WalMart sold Xmas last year. As a consequence it also had to be as much point and shoot as possible hence the use of AWN. For what gOS was designed for I consider it successful. Is it a replacement for my Kubuntu install? Nope. But for a kisok platform it fits the bill. To be fair gOS is not Linux Mint.

Aside from the Google Apps shortcuts and my space interface, there's nothing more in store for gOS.

I use google apps because they are all so user friendly, but I worry about privacy issues and the more and more Google becomes friends with the US and the Chinese govts, I am starting to find other alternatives to Googles many uses. Thats one reason why I jumped from XP to linux in the first place. I too test drove the LiveCD but wasnt thrilled with all the Google apps.
