Google will contribute more than with Android

_*I*_think_ Google will be much more upstream friendly with this one. I can imagine that they will go rolling release and actively push new kernels etc. They could use a snapshotting FS for desaster recovery. I think they will use an OpenGL WM and they will use KMS, PulseAudio and maybe even Ksplice because they want to push updates silently without user notification. I should just work and not bother people with technicalities.

I think such an approach is sufficiently different that it might work.

( Oh and if they do as I predict they will probably also use an established LSM framework for security, but http://code.google.com/p/nativeclient/ for native code )

But I suck at predictions .. my prediction for 2009 were e-ink ebook readers everywhere and books dying and other stuff that might still take an century to make a dent.
