,----[ Quote ]
| The Simmbook is one of the first Netbook to
| provide direct access to the cloud by
| offering a package of online collaboration
| tools. The OS is not cloud-based but
| LotusLive is a robust enough application
| suite to give customers a cloud environment
| that should prove useful and less expensive
| than the costs of a Windows-based operating
| system.
