You have just proved what I said. Chrome OS doesn't really compete with
existing distros. You haven't answered why there will be a Linux shake out,
because you have no answer.

Have you?

This is just waffle. Justify why Chrome OS sounds the death knell for other
distros. Analyse what I said, and counter, or give ground to the better
man...

Mr. Bottoms, you recently promised us all that this would never happen,
and now we find out from you that it's already happening.

Thanks for keeping us all up-to-date on your contradictory guesses and
ludicrous predictions about GNU/Linux. Not to mention your silly and
uniformed opinions of it.

You snipped what we were talking about, Bottoms. It was your assertion
that "Linux is finally becoming a mainstream OS". HTH.
