Microsoft hands the victory to Chrome OS
,----[ Quote ]
| Today marks the knee of the great curve of Microsoft's decline, it is
| downhill fast from here. The inflection point went almost unnoticed in 2003,
| but this time it is obvious to even the most myopic observer. The garbage
| scow named SS MS was just holed, and it's listing badly.

What? Can’t take a bit of competition?
,----[ Quote ]
| So now the IT media world just went wild over Google’s Chrome OS
| announcement. Comments are coming in from all over, some overly optimistic,
| some dismissive. All of these are speculative at best, and none of them carry
| a lot of weight as Google hasn’t even done a code drop yet, much less a
| release.

Moblin on the Nettop - First Steps
,----[ Quote ]
| The desktop and menus are significantly different than any of the "typical"
| Linux distributions, such as Ubuntu, Mandriva, Fedora or openSuSE. I don't
| even find them to be much like the Ubuntu Netbook Remix - if anything, my
| first impression of the desktop is better than it was with UNR, I find it to
| be less cluttered and more intuitive.

DIY Dual Atom Nettop System
,----[ Quote ]
| Wow! It booted right up! Ubuntu saw all the hardware just fine, and even
| reported the CPU as a Quad-Atom system! Intel says that the hyperthreading in
| the Atom causes the Dual CPU to appear as four processors, so that is normal.
| I went ahead and installed Ubuntu, and was finished with that in 15 minutes,
| as usual. Boot the installed system, do my normal configuration and package
| installations, and it looks very, very good. Programs start and run quickly,
| including Firefox, Thunderbird and OpenOffice.org.

All-in-one Nettops resurrecting desktop market
,----[ Quote ]
| A category long dominated by Apple's $1,200 iMac is suddenly rife with
| nice-looking imitators that pack less power than traditional Windows
| desktops, but are also gentler on the wallet. They're a subcategory of
| desktop PCs called Nettops, and, like Netbooks, they're generally defined as
| a computing platform powered by the Atom processor that runs either Windows
| XP or a version of Linux. Combined with the all-in-one form factor and a
| smaller screen than most desktops (between 15 inches and 19 inches), they're
| essentially the Netbooks of the desktop category.
