New PC Alternatives

Oooh, this is exciting!! Also, check out the Koobox website - http://www.koobox.com/

Maybe I can start a similar business here in Canada, but the market may be too small to make it viable.

This is almost as exciting. A Google PC – what a fantastic idea!

What’s not clear is what kind of operating system this Google PC will run. Is it some variant of Linux?

I dunno about you but I think if the rumours are true, then Micro$oft must be pissing in their pants. The Google PC could seriously cut into Windows and Office sales, which are the Beast of Redmond’s bread and butter. Can we spell s-c-h-a-d-e-n-f-r-e-u-d-e, boys and girls?

These news stories have made my day...
