Many Google engineers here. Anybody care to explain what are the technical reasons why this would be not supported?

The reason its not supported is not because of technological limitations. It's just anti competitive practices from Google.

and all of them collectively only make a couple of percent of desktop share. Given this why bother with Linux at all? There is a web version that can be used on almost any platform

Money Google spent is close to the sum of what all other companies above spent. Talk about not doing evil.

This is a huge win for Google. For a company that has near monopoly in search and online ad business to escape this is a big deal.

And I am sure it will be even less popular than a certain laptop that had less than 4 hours battery life and didn't even have a touch screen but it fit in a manila envelope (MacBook air)

Apple was there just a few days ago. Market is not perfect and far from rational.

I don't get this point. Windows 8 is probably the most connected windows ever. The store, Skydrive ads, all are driven by services behind the OS. I don't think that Sinofsky opposed or didn't get services.

Good for the people who work there but to me this looks like yet another sign where apple is becoming like the "other companies". No longer think different.

The big question is when do we see this in a real product. Many interesting innovations have come out of Microsoft research. It will be nice if they reach end users as well

What search engine do you use?

Google does that Apple has done that too. Get a new Galaxy tab and watch in wonder how many applications get updated over next few hours or so. What use is the ability to update software OTA if the users are not delivered quick incremental

I don't get why you think the article did not say anything about the tablet. It did review and compare various aspects of it such as the performance, display, battery life with other tablets on the market. It did not cover the software in d
