You cite emails which do not appear to match your claims. You cite technology which does not match your claims. Is there another person you worked on this with who you could ask to comment on your work -- former manager? product manager? any peer engineers? So far, you've called exclusively on upper management-types who traditionally cannot comment.

Also, what specifics do you feel like you invented pertaining to Chrome OS? Just planting the see of a web-centric Linux distro (on a USB stick...)? Or are you claiming all its boot, graphics, security, and OS-level innovations?

Hi guesty, I apologize I didn't remember the subject line of an email I sent 6 years ago.

If you are a member of Google, you can almost certainly track down a copy and run the actual operating system.

I had correspondence with hundreds of Google engineers at that time. Obviously if I had access to my email record, I could provide the contact details of all of those engineers, but that was all turned over to Google when I left the company.


Its not evasive. I'm stating if you are at Google, you can go look at the actual operating system itself. Also, copies of the slide deck we presented to management - on many occasions - is also almost certain still sitting on the Google file system. Its not like anything ever gets deleted at Google.


That is an evasive answer :/ I'd still like to hear your concrete claims, but I'm guessing I never will?
