It's already been denied.  I imagine it's the OS they use internally.  There's 
a whole nightmare in shipping something like an OS that I imagine Google 
wants to avoid.  That nightmare is called:  Idiot users and the call centers 
they think they need.

As much as I'd love to see Google push Linux I doubt they believe they can do 
much for it.  It'd only be marginally easier to tell someone google linux 
rocks verse saying ubuntu rocks.  Seeing really is believing; of course 
getting people to see is always hard.  And I haven't seen Google make any 
incredible marketing campaigns of their own yet (although they're helpful to 
other companies to the same end).
