Go google go hit harder
well im more that happy .
a other hit in the ball for M$ ( i hope that you will feel it )
But since IBM and googles already making partenership they should hit even harder help opensource even more ...
With the kind of profit that those 2 major corp are doing what is a few million but pocket change for them
This would give a big hand to the alternative,
and could avenge a part of ibm for the M$ stabing for os warp 2 .
Also a few nice project
A super office suite
OOo with scribus,inkscape,all with all the open standard format for all os windows/mac/linux that woudl be nice

will we are at it why the hell ibm and a few partener /googles /anyone just dont start a nice OS base of linux or BSD and just nail the MIcrosuck coffin once and for all.
OS/3 revenge or vengence or Phoenix (who know rise from ashes thingy )

welll this coudl be a nice little idea.

well dream make the man live
i would drink to that and laugh my asss off at M$
