Ubuntu for Tablet PCs unveiled

I'm going to come right out and say it - I see a few W8 things in there. And W8's native app-snap to me is better. However it would be cool if they(MS) added WP8 apps that ran on the side (no reason why they couldn't).

p.s. Now flame away :P

Great idea but they have a long way to go and a very challenging road ahead to even getting into the market.

Until most of business starts using opensource (i.e. e.g. OpenOffice and the like), all of the integration counts for nothing.

Most people I know buy PCs for business and for many, the PC is the cornerstone of their computing needs.

The one time I went open source software I lived to regret it as I coudn't do my work on any other PC. My experience with OpenOffice was a real headache for me. Thats when I understood what Microsoft's dominance of enterprise software means.

Since then, anything other than Microsoft I shy from. To me, it is money wasted, especially if on a tight budget.

It is only a matter of time before the meaning of a fully integrated Microsoft software and device ecosystem starts to kick in and this means an up hill battle for alternatives like Ubuntu. I also believe Android's smartphone dominance is threatened by this and BlackBerry's comeback too (especially with BB not having a third screen, i.e. PCs). With its overly priced products and marketing magic spells Apple will always have its faithfuls - the 'elite' groups.

The real question would be if they are guilty when it comes to patent law. If not then we call it another advance for humanity like how "File edit Help is a norm or how single left click selects and right click brings up a menu" became the norm.

If they do break patent law, it will be sad as they will have to remove that from devices sold in the US of A.

I just feel he's the head of a company and representing his brand. He could make a bit of effort to be more presentable, nothing extreme required. Right now he looks a bit rough/tacky to me, it's not like he's at a developers convention where it's fine.

Talking about gold chains I saw this jhb lebanese roid bunny type dude with unbuttoned shirt the other day with a gold chain that would make Mr T envious. Thing was about 20mm wide and 3-4mm thick :eek:

I don't like it when they make weird noises at the gym. Makes me uncomfortable.
