I don't like the tone of the end of the comment though 'the question is no longer whether you can afford to support Linux desktop operating systems, but whether you can afford not to'

Yeah, just like everyone owns a nexus, huh buddy.

Google's has had as many massive flops recently as massive hits. And we're seeing a corporate culture of not following through when the going's tough. On the one hand you've got Android and Chrome, on the other you've got Wave, Buzz and the Nexus One.

Having not seen Chrome OS yet I can't say, but I wonder whether we're going to see The Professor or Uncle Fluffy.
