Google OS Project Announcement Is Big News Everywere. (But not bigger than Michael Jackson)

Naturally, they're all oblivious to the fact that Linux and other Free operating systems, as well as other proprietary operating systems, have been around for ages and all offer significant advantages over MS Windows. This could be a tiny sign of progress that tech news is finally, slowly, awakening to a world beyond Windows.

Then again, probably not. At any rate, here is a sampling of distinctly different takes on the Google's announcement. Oh, and don't forget they're only announcing the project launch, not a product release.
