Sweet Mother of God!
At least I was not able to see the "results" - their site does not seem to support IE8.

In the past I've had C++ phone interview questions where some of the answers have been wrong. When this first happened I had little experience and didn't stand my ground, especially as I'd definitely got some other answers wrong. But the next time it happened I just stood my ground.
There should be no excuse for interviewers getting their own answers wrong though. They have prior access to all the knowledge.

Is it a more powerful bomb that the "Linux take over the desktop this year" bomb which got dropped regularly since 1986?

C’mon, stop for a while and think what a giant effort is to create from scratch a fully functional operating system nowadays. Thousands pieces of different hardware, hundred of technologies, development tools, office and utility packages, frameworks and appies/all the way from Win32 to DirectX/, networking, servers, gaming, UI etc. And you need to make all this crap stable and fast!!! It looks to me like game of “chicken” from the days of cold war: You created Bing we will answer with an OS!!! IMO Google are making a mistake and throwing money on the wind. MS are fully capable to make Bing competitive to Google, but I don’t think that Google are able to create something near to XP or Weven and their tools for reasonable period of time. Imagine that Sony decides to start producing jet fighters - a joke right? They have the money, but they don’t have the experience.

Yes, sure – some basic OS with integrated browser, docs online, full Java and J2EE support, Oracle support, some Java based IDE, C++ compiler without comprehensive IDE and framework, some image processing application, media player and limited hardware and networking support. The question is: are you going to replace your fully operational Windows or even Linux and all programs working on them with this new gadget? The answer is easy…

But they're not creating a new OS. All they're writing is a custom window manager for (a presumably) stripped down linux. There're jillions of existing distros that they can pick and choose from to drop it on top of.

If Google announce that they are planning to invest 20 billion in the next four years for creating a REAL OS – this will be other cattle of fish. If this going to be just the next Linux distribution with Chrome support, I’m not very excited.

The benefit from my point of view would be that having a Linux Distro with Google behind it might result in many more drivers being made available for Linux devices and if it reaches a decent level of acceptance developers might start to write code that runs on multiple platforms.

Yes - you have a good point, but this will not be the first time when someone tries this. First the IBM supported Linux and also the German government funds some distributions.

They are not nor did Apple when they started Mac OSX. Also Google is starting out with a Linux base on NetBooks. I think it is a good move.
Also note the browser wars, no one at one point thought any one could surpass IE. Now almost all the browsers are better than IE.

Thats a matter of opinnion (as is the sentence that follows this one). I still believe that IE is the superior overall browser to all others.

Yep there can be various standards but I based mine on the following:-
1. Overall JavaScript Engine Speed 2. Support for CSS level While some browsers pass CSS3 acid test IE does not.
I am talking on a purely technical basis not on emotions or preference etc.
