Developing and maintaining this OS will take money no matter how many open source people contribute (and I hear so far reaction from that community is not good). Google must generate much more from ad revenue than they do for their relatively simple Google Apps and mail. How many people are willing to share every mouse click with Google and put up with constant ads? what the writer doesn’t take into account while he is all so excited about this “free” OS is nothing is free and there lies the problem.

"New Windowing System". X is broken. BADLY. Given that it would be absolutely impossible to make a window system worse than X, this may be what finally gives linux credibility on the desktop.

I'd definitely be searching for innovative replacements to any of the traditionally 'local' apps. Seems like more of a shift in thinking than a complete cutoff. I think the speculation alone will trigger new ideas and new online apps accessible from cheaper and cheaper devices. Why bloat when it isn't always necessary? Getting something to everyone is better than a few having everything. Why invest hundreds of dollars into a complete system when I can get the 90% of what I really need for free.
