TBH,

Goggle have produced arguably to best Search engine, and have succeeded in this area far more than any of the competition.

if they offer an OS that is cheap does not tie you in to selling off your kids if they deem it to be in the interest of you using a PC then I hope the succeed in this venture.

What viable alternative is there to Windows to the basic user ? I have dabbled with Linux and would say it is too much work for the average Joe who only want to go online and perv, bank, shop, and sign up to pron sites with an email account.

Windows breaks the bank and the licence terms are just crazy. Apply need a new computer. so a free or cheap alternative can only be a good thing

it would be good for MS to get some real competition.
