There has been a lot of rumors around other products from Google, like a Gbrowser (why not to buy Moziilla Firefox instead?) and GoS, but they seem noise to me. Google is not interested in anything than advertisement. In act, they did not succeed in creating another kind of disruptive apps: neither Gmail, nor GDocs and Spreadsheets are more than advertisement extensions.
In fact, if they were trying to compete in Operating System platforms with Microsoft, and bearing in mind most of Google new applicactions came out of buying other companies, I feel is most likely that Google try to acquire Red Hat or other Linux distribution provider than trying to create a new GoS from scratch or to develop their own Linux distribution.
