Who ever said it's MS vs Google?

Nice headline but not exactly where the real story is going which is more likely MS vs the $200 Everex computer being sold at Walmart [walmart.com] that doesn't include Windows, Office or anything else from MS.

Now THAT's the real threat to MS and you could foresee Google backing such an initiative.

Oh Wait! Too Late!

Google already did this with the Google Bundle but it was most of the same software for Windows boxes. Seems like the Google Bundle was one copy of Ubuntu Linux short of being that Everex computer.

Side note...

Speaking as someone that had Comcast fail for 3 days recently, doing 100% of your computing online is a complete fantasy. I don't need to be online to type a letter, memo, run a spreadsheet, build a Powerpoint or many other things and have no intention to do those things online only any time soon.

However, thanks to Comcast's outage, I'm now the proud owner of a Sprint Wireless Broadband USB device so it would take a really big earthquake or nuke to keep me offline at this point.
