,----[ Quote ]
| The easiest to understand are Google and VMware. Google, with its Linux 
| distribution Chrome OS, is placing secondary emphasis on the operating system 
| and primary emphasis on where it takes you: the Web. Given Google's strength 
| in cloud computing, this makes perfect sense. Google needs an operating 
| system just long enough to move users "off" their personal computers (or 
| mobile phones, for which Google has developed Android) and into its cloud 
| services: Google Apps, Search, Wave, etc.
