Cloud over the IT world in 2010? â Survey results & what next for Windows?

,----[ Quote ]
| So what of Windows?  Could its closed source 
| nature be eventually the death of it?  Quite 
| possibly, one only has to look at the wealth 
| of FOSS projects that are providing 
| alternative solutions to many of Microsoft 
| products.  Even Microsoft themselves are 
| alleged to use GPL code (and allegedly violate 
| it albeit by a third party)
| 
| Remember Mr Ballmerâs cancer comment in 
| regards to Linux?
| 
|     Linux is a cancer that attaches itself in 
|     an intellectual property sense to 
|     everything it touches
| 
| But then should we really pay any attention to 
| him? he was alleged afterall to also say that 
| Google was a house of cards and iPhone had no 
| chance of getting a significant market share.  
| I bring this up since GoogleOS is built on 
| Linux so its rather relevant that the first 
| âmainstreamâ steps of this concept are being 
| taken by that which Mr Ballmer seems to have a 
| low opinion of.  Talking of cancer and IP,  I 
| wonder if he would like to retract that since 
| Microsoft China are alleged to have taken code 
| from another companies product and attempted 
| to use it as their own.  For more information 
| on this, read the article here.

The rise of Google Chrome

,----[ Quote ]
| Google launched the open-source browser in
| 2008, prompting many to ask why anyone needed
| another after Microsoft's Internet Explorer,
| Mozilla's Firefox, and Apple's Safari. But over
| the course of 2009, Google answered that
| question: with Chrome, the company wants not
| just to speed up the Web but to rebuild its
| foundations.

Google Chrome OS goes native (code)

,----[ Quote ]
| Google's Chrome OS does not run local
| applications or store local data. Everything is
| handled inside the browser. But when the much-
| hyped operating system debuts on netbooks at
| the end of next year, you can bet it will
| execute native code on behalf of online Google
| applications such as Gmail or Docs and
| Spreadsheets.
