What are your opinions on the announcement that Google is to create a netbook\desktop open-source OS to compete with MS?
Are they really developing an OS? "Google Chrome running within a new windowing system on top of a Linux kernel" sounds like they're just creating a new windowing system, which isn't the same as an operating system. I'm also curious about the claims that it will run on x86 and ARM - if they're using Linux as the kernel then that already does run on those two architectures (amongst many others).
I'm struggling to work out what the big deal is here... Paul -- Paul Waring http://www.pwaring.com
