First of all the Google OS is FREE and very limited. Second, it will be
geared towards notebooks so it is probably a very stripped down version.

Anyway it's at least 18 months away. Now you have another hard-on
because there is more pressure on Microsoft to produce better products.

Maybe you can start a new "Noble Mission"!

It will start with Netbooks but it will also run on desktops and
laptops. Google has more money than I or Canonical for the mission. Most
people have not heard of Red Hat, Fedora, SUSE or Ubuntu but guess what,
they HAVE heard of Google and the fact that it will be bulletproof
compared to Windows regarding malware, it may take off like a rocket.

Two sentences and you've contradicted yourself ('is free' 'will be') that
may be a record!

Has to be some before there can be 'more'.

What is the contradiction? The first sententence states that the product is
free. The second says what it's going to be.

There are non-MS OS's already, so there has been some pressure on them to
produce a better OS, though it seems Linux is still only really used by
computer geeks and the ones I know of have another machine with an MS OS
installed.

At first it will be geared towards netbooks as a preinstalled OS. It
will also run on laptops and desktops. You say "stripped down version".
How can anything that hasn't been created yet be stripped down? Stripped
down from what?

Not a full OS like Windows 7. It will have the basic functionality to
navigate the web and local files but won't have most of the other features
of Windows. If they want it fast it will need to be lean.

Like what, WPA? WGA? Viruses? Spyware? Internet Exploder? Windows Fail?
LOL!

Ubuntu is fast and the new ext4 boots up in less than 25 seconds. Do you
always comment on that which you do not know? Yes, you do, constantly.

If you can't tell the difference between 'is' and 'will be' you need to
go back to grammar school.

You completely missed my point. There is currently very little or no
pressure on MS. At least that is the way they proceed to do business. BTW
- I know a whole host of 'non-geeks' using Linux. We have Linux on 13 of
the 14 public access internet computers at the local library. Folks have
been using them for over four years and zero complaints to date - a
sizable number of them seem to be unaware they're not useing an MS
product. And, for the record, we have six home computers networked
together. One of them may be capable of booting XP - I'm not sure because
I haven't tried since we got it (immediately installed Linux on it and
that's what we've used). We've been 100% Linux for over five years.

Allow me to explain in plain English.

The sentence "First of all the Google OS is FREE and very limited." means
Google has produced an OS. The sentence "Second, it will be geared towards
notebooks so it is probably a very stripped down version." means Google will
release an OS. You appear to be referring to the same product, yet you've
combined present tense with future tense. As far as I know, Google hasn't
released any OS, and has one planned for release next year. So, to make
your statements true you should have said "First of all the Google OS will
be FREE and very limited. Second, it will be geared towards notebooks so it
is probably a very stripped down version."

I'll put in another vote that the only place I've ever seen Linux users is
on a tech related newsgroup. I don't know anyone who actually uses it, don't
see them at the coffee shop, on jobs or in their homes. All seems to be
Windows or Mac that I see in the real world.

OK so I should have said that the OS will be free. Big deal. I don't
remember reading anywhere that posts will be graded!

My English lession for today!

Ubuntu isn't "lean" but a full operating system.
Simple as that. Don't make a mountain out of a mole hill. Anyway we will
see what it's made of soon.

You're mistaken again.

Sure. A full operating system that most people don't want or need. Get
over it. Ubuntu is free and still is on very few desktops out there.
People reject the FREE OS because it doesn't run their programs. Simple.
You're mistaken again.

Wrong. I am not mistaken. You are.

The issue was whether or nor Chrome would be "full" or "lean". You
mistakenly said it *had* to be lean. I gave an example that proves you
wrong and you start your parrot act.
Wrong. I am not mistaken. You are.

See above and apologize if you're man enough (you're not).

You contradicted yourself by telling us what it 'is' then speaking of
what it 'will be' when it hasn't even been released yet. I don't know how
I can make it any more clear, but then you can't teach calculus to the
janitor's cat, either.

You're more than welcome to visit the Portneuf District Library, for one
- there are a multitude of other examples.
