Google to Launch Mac Version of Google Desktop UPDATED

Posted by michael on from the still-waiting-for-debian-package dept.

Google chief executive Eric Schmidt saying it had to be rebuilt from the ground up because of the fundamental differences between the Mac OS and Windows. 'We intend to do it,' Schmidt said." Update: 10/30 23:51 GMT by M : Seems like Reuters and others may have heard wrong about a potential Mac version.

    But this is the cult of the Mac you're up against here. Anything apple releases is immediatly paid for and declared the best thing ever.

    I guess Google must not know that Linux has now outpaced desktop installs vs Mac's..

    Maybe they know it didn't?
