I guess this is good news for us web developers, if applications are going server side way, and I would really love to see Microsoft get booted from its lazy monopoly OS position. Would anyone use an OS where you might not be able to install itunes or you other favouriteapps though, some apps seem to migrate to the web better than others. Or have I incorrectly interpreted googles stance on installable apps?--~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ NZ PHP Users Group: http://groups.google.com/group/nzphpug To post, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe, send email to [email protected] -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
