we need somebody like Google to get into the OS market.

gOS beta here.

(not a Google OS, but it looks like it's trying to be one)

“gOS is developed by Good OS LLC out of Los Angeles. It’s based on Ubuntu Linux 7.10 and runs the Enlightenment E17 interface instead of KDE or Gnome. Despite not being created by Google, the focus of gOS is Google’s online applications such as GMail, Google News, Google Maps, Google Calendar, YouTube, etc. It’s a neat concept for a Linux distribution, but how practical is it? We’ll find out in this review.”

Google hasn’t sent them a Cease and Desist, so one might
conclude that the big G hasn’t any immediate plans for
a Google o.s.
