It's funny, even when Google denies a rumor, it still makes the news.

InformationWeek tries to make a story out of Google's internal use of Ubuntu desktop Linux technology.

Google clearly told them...

"We utilize the Ubuntu technology for internal use, but have no plans to distribute it outside of the company," the spokeswoman said. She also denied the company was using the name "Goobunto" internally for the software, saying, "It's just an internal system."

What's next, speculation on a Google Cola, simply because they have Coca-Cola vending machines at the 'plex? ;-)
