,----[ Quote ]
| Dell Inc., the worldâs third-largest
| personal-computer maker, is testing Google
| Inc.âs Chrome operating system on some
| computers, a move that might give users an
| alternative to Microsoft Corp.âs Windows.
|
| Trials of Chrome OS are being conducted on
| prototypes of netbook-style devices and
| tablet computers, Stephen J. Felice, Dellâs
| consumer and small and medium business
| president, said in an interview yesterday
| at Dellâs annual analyst meeting.

GNU/Linux is More Than Good Enough in Education

| My high school just did reports using word-
| processing documents file-shared and write-
| locked. I donât think we had a single
| collision amongs four teachers and all
| their studentsâ reports. Some teachers used
| GNU/Linux and some used that other OS. It
| all worked. Indeed the simpler interface of
| FLOSS apps tends to be easier for students
| to learn which lowers the overhead of
| introducing them to particular apps.

| At this point, though, that's a big if. "I
| think Dell is using this mostly as leverage
| against Microsoft to gain a more favorable
| OEM contract rather than gearing up to sell
| a small number of systems to the Microsoft
| haters of the world," said Piland.
