    Yeah, the info on open source is real gr8…

    How abt writing something on all apps getting web based (say google docs, spreadsheet)…

    Is there going to be a day when there will be no full-fledged OS, software installations to worry abt… Our desktop turning into just a small wired box (like mobile), where u cud get4free/request respective application services as required… what do u think?

    Thanks man..Yeah Google mainly is looking to move away from a traditional OS based system to a more generic system which provides all services on demand irrespective of the platform..but this will take a long time i think
