According to Tim O’Reilly, founder and CEO of O’Reilly Media, Google CEO Eric Schmidt was not as clear as media reports said he was on bringing a version of Google Desktop to Mac OS X. “I’m the one who asked [Schmidt] the question at his talk about whether we’d expect a Mac version of Google desktop, and I have to say I didn’t read his response at all the way the Reuters reporter did,” O’Reilly writes. “He was fairly equivocal, saying that it was a hard problem, requiring a whole separate project, not just a port, because of the differences in the operating systems. He made no announcement of actual plans to deliver the product, or even that Google was actively working on it.”
