The main thing about gOS is that it offers "web apps" such as document writing/saving (Google Docs). I think it's really convenient to have Gmail and Google Maps and YouTube as web apps you can load from either the Applications menu or even the Wbar. Plus, if you have web access and can use Google Docs and stuff like that, you would really have practically no need to install offline applications such as OpenOffice.org. I've been playing with gOS ever since gOS 1.0 came out last year and have been impressed with each new version to come out. And I've also been jazzing up my Xubuntu installations to where they have similar web apps. I'll be very interested in gOS 3.0 E17 when it comes out. I tried out OpenGEU 8.04.1 recently which comes with the latest build of E17, and its version of E17 is much more stable than the E17 that came with gOS Rocket E.
