Every indication is Palm deeply regrets selling the Palm O/S now, since it is basically being sent to the graveyard by this foreign company more interested in developing a version of Linux. But instead of making the transition to Linux themselves, Palm has chosen to sell itself to the proverbial devil, Microsoft, instead. Just as Apple did with Intel, just as Sun did with SCO, maybe one day you'll realize many great American companies are doing most everything they can to thwart Linux without completely alienating these freakish Linux supporters permanently.

Really? So Sun is selling Solaris and OpenUnix/UnixWare on the x86 now? I guess they must have forgotten to pull This page down..

What indication?

Have you even considered that perhaps Palm senses something in basing their OS on the Linux kernel--and perhaps something that their own engineers and developers cannot do effectively?

Finally, Linux supporters aren't freakish. We just want a system that works and where the stability isn't at the mercy and whims of a single company.

What does that have to do with any of this?
