Did Google's Chrome OS have something to do with this move, I think so. Why you may ask: Because entry of another Linux based Open Source OS into the Linux playground does nothing to further Canonical's ambitions.
Now waiting on Adobe and its Flash Technologies to do likewise.
I would like to know which motherboard you're talking about so that I can avoid this nonsense...and here's why: -
...To my great annoyance, when I tried to boot to this OS, a message said that it was not installed. It turns out that motherboard comes with an install disk for this GNU/Linux OS -- that you can only run from Windows...
Doesn't this state of matters boarder on the brink of insanity?
I do not agree that the Space Shuttle's heading to the space station qualifies to be on Slashdot's front page and here's why:
This news is so much like yesterday...move on.
We've had decades of shuttle launches, that this is now routine.
When Russians send their Soyuz craft to space, there's hardly any mention of it in the Russian or American media. To the Russians, it's second nature similar to taking a flight. It should be the same for us when it comes to the Shuttle.
What have we gotten from all the experiments done in space since the sixties anyway? Do these expenses justify the cost?
I currently run Windows XP and Debian with KDE 4.2.4 and I love them all. Could someone tell me why I should care about Windows 7? Heck...the need for its activation too keeps me far from even trying it out.
Yes, this is routine stuff but still think it's news worthy. What Microsoft could pull is to warn of a "critical exploit" in all versions of Windows prior to Windows 7 and make money.
When combined with Software Assurance, this can work to move most businesses to Windows 7.
Trust me, Microsoft knows how businesses think and I am sure personnel have been hired to handle "stubborn" business accounts.
Any traction on solving or at least improving Microsoft's ODF implementation? The last time I checked, there were serious issues with the implementation.
By the way, how does Office 2007's "Save-As-PDF" feature compare to the real thing?
With the "threat" of Silverlight's assault on the desktop looming, I wonder why Adobe will not open source Flash and all its components. Do they want to procrastinate like SUN did with their Java?
So in your opinion, Linux's fragmentation helps matters? What was insinuated is this: Packaging and the whole way the ecosystem of Linux is does not help, and is not helping at all.
People do not change easily and they will not change easily from Windows. What Linux does is to even make it more difficult to effect change. I do not understand why this is so hard to grasp.
By the way, even for supported hardware, one might have to use the command line depending on distro. You want examples?
Can an informed authority tell me whether Mono or Microsoft's.NET can stream data over the internet? Very useful in Forex Trading. This is what I mean.
...Packaging has also been a detriment to Java on Linux, said O'Grady...
To this, [Linux] zealots will defend the status quo saying choice is working for Linux as if there are no draw backs.
This same problem is being reflected on the choice of desktop environments. No wonder after a decade of "Linux on the desktop", we in the Linux world still command a very small percentage of active users of desktop Linux. Some say we are irrelevant. It's sad.
I mean, Google should maintain sanity within the Chrome OS ecosystem by making sure it does not fragment (read morph) into what we have in Linux land -- a deplorable situation.
This also puts more pressure on Google. They should now beef up their online application presence. To me, I find Google Docs still wanting compared to the competition.
I am curious to know how satisfied or otherwise you are with Google Docs. In my case, I find that this particular application needs more love from Google.
In addition, I would love to have GMail display the calendar in much the same way as YahooMail does. It's sweet to see important dates scroll by at the bottom as you type an email in Yahoo.
I can see smiles on the part of Microsoft. In the meantime, if I were Adobe, I would open up everything that has to do with Flash so that Flash does not become irrelevant.
In order to treat these conditions, ECT is the tool of choice these days. It has its own detractors (me inclusive) for I do not see how inducing a seizure helps an individual.
Worst of all you could lose all your memory. There was a story of a lady who did not remember anything about her clothes and wondered who had put "foreign" clothes in her closet. In another case, a former doctor could not remember who the hell he was after the procedure. Scary indeed.

One of the pros: GNOME gets a "tested" engine to do most of the work required...
And the con: GNOMErs will squabble about what to drop and in the end, they will create more duplication. Not good...not good at all.

Why not cover "real news" like How the smartphone rivals are building their communities, referring to Android and iPhone platforms?
I currently run Windows XP and Debian with KDE 4.2.4 and I love them all. Could someone tell me why I should care about Windows 7? Heck...the need for its activation too keeps me far from even trying it out.
What apps are you using or running? Any pics/videos...Heck we have Youtube, right? Any issues you'd like Google to address? Just curious!

I wonder whether there are environments where technologies like NeatX can be regarded as "God sent" solutions.
I know the technology and have used it several times but I still fail to see how it could be useful given the enormous power today's systems have.
I guess I am calling for serious implementations...anyone?

..."with the announcement of Google's Chrome Operating System -- a direct attack on Microsoft Windows..."
I do not think so. Microsoft unlike Google, is involved in much more...that is Server and Desktop Operating Systems and Media Players.
Google's move is an indirect attack but not a direct one.
I cracked my own network in minutes using this method. Can someone point me to a less complicated method?
With the "threat" of Silverlight's assault on the desktop looming, I wonder why Adobe will not open source Flash and all its components. Do they want to procrastinate like SUN did with their Java?
Seriously, in future, Flash will be in trouble.

This same problem is being reflected on the choice of desktop environments. No wonder after a decade of "Linux on the desktop", we in the Linux world still command a very small percentage of active users of desktop Linux. Some say we are irrelevant. It's sad.
And here's why:
There are more than 100 programming languages.
There are so many skill sets in each of them among programmers,
Programmers like those in the general population, have their own definition of "best".
Who will say what language is best for a particular kind of programming?
Bottom line: Invalid question, so it should not have been asked.
...as compared to this? If not then Google will have a hard time convincing me to switch.

There is no mention of other components the extend .NET!
From the document...
"...We introduce instructions newdata, lddata, stdata, castdata, isdata and
switchdata to create and manipulate classunion values..." (emphasis mine).
In fact, this announcement is not much different compared to the one 7 years ago!
Watch out folks. Microsoft's classic Embrace, Extend, Extinguish paradigm is very possible here.
No he will not and here's why:
Mono, which is related to .NET and CLI is much more than what ECMA standards specify yet there is no reference to those.
If he makes noise, he will have a point.
