Re: [PLUG] Chrome OS beta released

[Eric <eric@lucii.org>]

Wow!  I would not have noticed that had you not pointed it out.  "...
not related to Google"?  WTF?

I wonder if the "full name" is "Chrome OS _Linux_" so they (the
Novell/SuSE marketing department) are trying to masquerade as "the"
Chrome OS?

That would be a subtle bit of subterfuge.  Here's hoping they get a big
public smack-down if that's the case.
