My first reaction was laughing because some commentators we saying
'poor Linux' where they should be saying 'poor Ubuntu'. This is
actually just another distro, so people like Canonical is a
competitor.

With Microsoft, time will tell, so far no one has been able to mount a
credible challenge yet, as the netbook market proves: people still
want Windows on it even though it is clearly unsuitable!

To win Google must be able to provide an easy to use always up to date
App Store-like functionality, at the moment choosing stuff from
'repositories' is exactly like going through a bin full of stuff...
