Google and Dell Billion Dollar Deal

Is Google working with Dell to become the new king of the desktops?

Here's a blog on what CNBC is reporting.

Verrrrry interesting.

Google has a desktop, Goobuntu based on Ubuntu, and an office suite, OpenOffice.org. They have gmail. And now they might have hardware distribution. I smell world domination.

Google has always been a hardware company... Thats actually were the majority of there money is coming from.. Not just search engine on the net. They've been doin hardware for searching large intranet databases since, well, forever. So hardware is were they've always been. Goobuntu is there operating system they've been using in house for Googlers (google employees). Im assuming they'll be makin a consumer distrubution soon. But a billion dollar deal? Expect something radically new

Hi R,

Thanks for posting. I'm looking forward to learning whatever Google is going to do--and of course I have my fingers crossed that whatever they do will help OpenOffice.org and Linux become part of the mainstream. ;>
