,----[ Quote ]

| personal computer operating system could prove to be good news for another
| Microsoft rival, Raleigh's Red Hat.

HP, Lenovo, Qualcomm... this is also a risk to Canonical, not just
Microsoft/Windows.
Intel Apparently A Google Chrome OS Partner, Too
,----[ Quote ]
| Although not mentioned yesterday, "privy to the project for some time"
|
| Yesterday, we reported that nine companies had partnered with Google to help
| develop Google Chrome OS. This article may be a little short on names by
| comparison, but it seems important to note that Intel, the chipmaker with a
| market cap of about $90 billion, is also on the team.

The Google Chrome Key
,----[ Quote ]
| Back in 1995 something very odd happened. Microsoft released a new version of
| their operating system, jumping from version 3.x to version 95 which, as well
| as being a pretty innovative bit of version numbering, brought in a few other
| new things including the start menu. Now to get the start menu to work they
| pulled off an astonishing move and added a new key to computer keyboards, not
| just keyboards made by Microsoft (I am not even sure they did make them at
| the time) but keyboards made by all manufacturers. This key had a little
| windows advert on it and was called the Windows key. Quite how the
| competition regulators let this pass at the time and ever since is a mystery
| to me, but to this day if you go and buy a Logitech keyboard for your Ubuntu
| Linux desktop you will have a windows logo staring at you as you type like
| the eye of Sauron.

Google's Chrome OS and the Year of the GNU/Linux Desktop
,----[ Quote ]
| Thus Google's operating system represents a further stage in the
| commoditisation of software, something that the appearance of GNU/Linux began
| all those years ago. Now, the operating system is simply there to support the
| browser, which becomes the main arena for interacting with applications.
