M$ is _not so_ afraid of Linux, which is a grown up child. Why should they fear a baby? :) Could it be that Google has enough resources to push for the adoption of their Crome OS? Call me a pessimist, but I still think Chome OS will go the same way as other Open Source OS - mostly used by the tech savvy type. An ordinary user will still ask if they can install M$ Office in it, besides all the other apps that are written for M$ Windows. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ "If you have nothing good to say about someone, just shut up!." -- Lucky Dube
<my opinion> Linux never confronted M$, Linux saw a gap in server market and hit it hard, but never once tried to outsmart M$ on the desktop - Google on the other hand is taking M$ headon on the desktop - and they have resources, not just money, but people, who depend on google search engine, may just be more curious to see how the desktop works. </my opinion> ./Ok3ch 2009/7/8 Odhiambo ワシントン <odhiambo@gmail.com>

Finally, the big guys spilled the beans.Since it will be linux based, i think their main work will be on that layer, that specific layer of the linux os,the graphical layer.If they are to compete with windows 7, mac os X, they will definitely need some great visuals and stability.Since it has the linux kernel, hardware compatibily should not be a problem.It would be good to have a direct competiton to m$ for the first time On Wed, Jul 8, 2009 at 12:56 PM, mike oketch <mikeoketch@gmail.com> wrote:
