Why do I feel more retarded after reading this?

I may berate many computer users at times, but I know that mac users aren't stupid enough to realize that a netbook is no where close to contending with a macbook.

AFAIK, google isn't the only one in the android project. HTC is one of the first to use the OS on their phones, but I think other companies have decided to screw around with the programming to get an interface they like. (To fight vs iPhone interface for smartphones). This thing is afterall.... open source.
--- Quote ---Open source has been tried and failed on netbooks
Google’s Chrome OS isn’t the first attempt at putting free software on netbooks, as Linux distributions such as Ubuntu Netbook Remix – the current version known as Jaunty Jackalope – have been sold on only a small number of netbooks. Many companies tried to sell netbooks with only a Linux distribution on board, but sales were astonishingly low, and many consumers who had bought the system had major difficulties in using it. Microsoft Windows XP makes up nearly all of netbook sales, with a small number of companies offering a choice in OS, and a smaller number of companies offering their own Linux based OS.

AFAIK, open source isn't out there to "win". It's there as an alternative and who installs these OSes? Manufacturers? How do you get Jaunty on a netbook? Dell or yourself. Well, no wonder why it's not on a netbook. Most consumers are retarded and Dell sucks sweaty monkey balls.

Not going to deny this. But here's the dealio. Google OS was never meant to stretch E-penor in any way.

I didn't read the article... but isn't it to soon to say something like that? It's like trying to predict weather 2 years from now.
Should i read it, geoffreak?

Haven't touched it, and if you've seen me enough on this forum, you'd know that I will never even go near it even with a 10 foot pole!
Time for a shower.... :'(
EDIT:
After reading Fohfoh's comments on the article... I think I'll pass on reading it... It'll just piss me off

Microsoft doesn't steal my private information, at least. And I'm free to use Firefox, too.

Why? It's just a search engine. Results are just as good as Google, and certain features, such as image search, are superior.

Actually MS does steal your private information in a few of their apps. Though some of it is anonymous from what i understand... (Ms media player, Ms Search, and more)

I thought the user agreement was modified to keep google from taking that information from chrome (besides usage type of into etc which many other programs do regularly)
To YOU maybe. To YOU an automatic car is just as good as a manual. But we always find things to nitpick at and call a piece of shit.
