Jeremy of Linuxquestions.org writes about a Google "appliance" rather
than all out OS;
"The power of Google branding should be readily apparent now. One
interesting thing here is, this should worry Novell (and to a lesser
extent Red Hat) at least as much as it worries Microsoft. The desktop
market is a big piece of the potential OS pie. A move by Google could
all but lock other Linux-based options out."
Looks like this might be building to Apple levels of hype and speculation.

I just can't see anyone that already uses Linux switching for something
like this...But Aunt Sally who only writes emails, has a few bookmarks
and occasionally prints a letter or two.....just maybe....
Is this what Dell is dragging their feet on?
