blogs.computerworld.com— People have talked for years about Google taking Microsoft on with its own Linux desktop. Guess what? Google may already have sneaked a Linux desktop out without anyone noticing... until now.

I find this argument amusing considering that I would bet my left nut that Google could care less about corporate enterprise environments. It's ridiculous to even consider that. Considering that so much of what basic users do from home is on the internet and the data that they use and store is all migrating to the cloud, it is quite easy to see, in my opinion, that they are poised quite nicely to snatch a significant chunk of those basic home users away from Microsoft. This could possible even lead to Microsoft being largely forced out of the home PC/laptop/netbook business and fully focused on the corporate environment and products that companies need. Why would anyone at home pay for anything Microsoft when they can do everything they want with a PC/laptop/netbook of their choosing and a free OS and web browser from Google?And I think the assumption here is supposed to be that if these two dudes can do this so easily with Android, you know Google already has a full blown desktop version running on PCs, laptops, or whatever. They are just waiting for the right time to spring it on everyone. Suddenly we'll start seeing bundle deals from Dell with Android Desktop and Chrome on them.

Who else better than Google to defeat the politicians? This would be perfect for the Linux community.

Digg titles deceive millions. Cause global crisis. Millions left starving.

You mean, 2009, the year Microsoft still dominates the entire market with Windows.

Confluence would be nice if its search engine didn't SUCK ASS.
