Google ChromeOS: have people given leave of their senses? | |

Google already has its own form of Linux it uses to run its gazzilion servers so to Krishnan’s point, why is it re-inventing the wheel? Would it not have been easier to build out of that? Maybe it has and we just haven’t been told. That would be a smart move because then you could see how Google might put servers in the Internet cloud. The initial target seems to be the Netbook but I don’t see how anyone can realistically extrapolate that to world dominance of the entire PC market, let alone the crucially important server market. The last figures I saw say the total Notebook shipments were 5.62 million. That was in December 2008 so let’s be incredibly generous and double the number for the last six months. That means some 15 million Netbooks in the market. That’s pretty small potatoes when you think there are some 12 million Blackberries alone in the market. It also ignores predictions that it will be the smartphone that becomes the dominant device, at least in the markets that are growing. | ||

| Well, of course. Anyone who doesn't fully & completely embrace Microsoft is crazy. And a Democrat. And probably a Communist, nun-beating, baby-raper. |

#3 Ahhh. the new Latchbot/Kabukibot (same person) meme ... act deranged and project such derangement on others.
Pathetic. |

| Ah, here goes Latch. Of course, criticising anyone who doesn't follow his non-Microsoft agenda instead of having a reasonable discussion full of logic and reason. |

| #4: And yet you're strangely silent on someone who criticizes anyone not following their pro-Microsoft agenda. Funny, that. |

No, Latch, that is not it. Anyone who demonstrates a persistent lack of the will to exercise anything that resembles pragmatism, is probably an arrogant statist overly reliant upon populist memes to advance their agenda among the masses. That such people may also be dems, communists, nun-beaters and or baby-rapers, is irrelevant to the fact that the original challenge such people face is that the truth, facts and material evidence means nothing to them - leaving them hopelessly and sadly, intentionally removed from the pragmatic base upon which decisions should be formed.
This article represents one tiny island of decent analysis that is sober and thoughtful - e.g., practical, pragmatic and prudent - as opposed to being laced with opinions based more upon wishful thinking than they are reality. |

#5 Funny there's no one here with a pro-Microsoft agenda, just in your own mind. Only non-Microsoft zealots like yourself against people who want to have intelligent discussions. Funny that. This post was edited by testman on Wednesday, July 08, 2009 at 12:59. |

#9: Strip away ketchum's right-wing rhetoric and his posts are generally quite enlightening. I have heard him criticize MS on a number of occasions most recently regarding genuine advantage and non-approved windows updates/reboots. He does tend to go strong with the pom poms with respect to Microsoft technology but that is no doubt because he has had great success with those technologies (as many of us here have).
Parker on the other hand... |

The man knows his stuff in many areas of Microsoft. That's never been up for debate. I have heard him criticize MS on a number of occasions most recently regarding genuine advantage and non-approved windows updates/reboots. In all the years I've posted here, those two are the ONLY things he's ever been critical of. All the other nasty work he either downplays or explains away. I often throw MS's latest gaffe at him just to see how creative he is with a rationalization. Parker on the other hand... Speak not his name or he shall appear! |
