Will Microsoft's Silverlight dampen the appeal of Google's Chrome OS?
,----[ Quote ]
| First, as others have noted, Googleâs Chrome
| OS is a new windowing system layered on top of
| Linux that is being customized to run on
| netbooks. Chrome OS is an âextension to
| Chrome,â the companyâs browser, in Google
| execsâ own words. Google officials are billing
| Chrome OS, among other things, as a way to
| provide Web applications with the
| functionality of desktop applications.

"We could refresh the look and feel of the

Apple Rejects Mono; Moonlight Marching Orders
,----[ Quote ]
| Look for ever more of this sort of thing as
| Team Mono attempts to expand Mono and
| Moonlight. Team Mono is already getting
| marching orders to start pushing Moonlight
| harder, the first plan being a video editor.
|
| A video editor is a beautiful infection
| vector for Moonlight, because:
|
| 1. Moonlight itself only safe to use for
| direct Novell customers,
| 2. All those nice proprietary video
| codecs that Novell has licensed from
| Microsoft are only safe for direct Novell
| customers as well.
|
| So, Novell sees a great opportunity to
| spread Moonlight and the fruits of its
| Microsoft collaboration, while pretending to
| develop a âLinuxâ application.
|
| So long as your âLinuxâ comes directly via
| Microsoft-approved Novell-only channels, of
| course â other Linux flavors need not apply
| â or redistribute.
