Yes, very interesting. Thanks.

Very astute commentary.
Especially the comparison of Palm's WebOS to the Apple iPhone. And the mimcry of GNOME and KDE of Windows*. The description of a web-based application is quite good, but he left out a really good reference: Adobe AIR. I think this is why Google are talking to Adobe: so they provide something like an AIR runtime on ChromeOS.
Wade. * I know I'm going to annoy Peter again, but I'm reminded of WindowMaker yet again. :-) Q:Is it proper to eat cheeseburgers with your fingers? A:No, the fingers should be eaten separately. |

agree on the Linux GUI
I think I'd be more interested in GNOME or KDE if they'd expanded upon the ideas found in OS/2's Workplace Shell. For casual users WPS is enough like Windows that they wouldn't have problems using it, but it would add the ability to go above and beyond what Windows is capable of.
Hmm, didn't know about Adobe AIR, though I see via google that Gruber was aware of it - possible he'd forgotten about it when writing that commentary. http://daringfirebal...le_wont_buy_adobe |
