Microsoft is offering some basic office programs for free now, no doubt because of Google docs.

Would be neat to see how this changes things.

I love Google Chrome the browser, so I bet the OS would be neat as well.

Nobody really cares about Windows. What businesses care about Office, Outlook, and Project and what home users care about are games. Once users can have those, or the equivalent, without Windows, then Windows is done.

... Larry Ellison of Oracle was touting the benefits of the network computer back in 1996. ...

And as I recall, Scott McNealy at Sun was touting the same thing before then. Some things never change.
