If Google created Google Windows and the product wasn’t an OS, it’s still a rip off right?
It’s one thing when it’s Apple/google maps because it’s a generic and descriptive mark, but One? Should have just gone full stop Google Windows.
But MS OneNote was released right around the same time.
But let’s be serious Google spent millions to brand/launch this, and it’s got to be embarrassing that either: a. None of the yesmen thought to speak up and say hey should we really use a name MS uses for a bunch of their products (One Note, Xbox One, One OS, One Guide); or b. Straight ripped it.
But hey Googlers are gonna downvote when Google spends millions of branding/marketing a new product only to be called on copying MS of all companies.
For a company like Google, I find it a bit embarrassing.

The "i" in all of Apple's names stands for Internet in 1990s nomenclature.
Similarly the word "one" predates any usage by MS.
