| Microsoft's rivalry with Google heated up considerably this past year when

| cool effects with needed functionality. I think users will like it.

| Based on Ubuntu 7.10 Linux system with an Enlightenment E17 interface, the 
| PC's productivity will be almost solely derived from Google applications

| Linux favorates.
