Need Blogware Tag/Category

Shouldn't LXer have a "blogware" category/tag to put speculative articles about "Chrome OS" in?

For surely this particular article demands to be put in such a category.

ooh goodie, another tag to put on the 'more secure windows os' blog/pr/vaporware.

@azerthoth: "more secure windows" deserves the "humor" tag...

not IT, but PR

They don't need Linux gurus to spew torrents of announcements, articles, and opinion on a non-existent OS, just ordinary PR flacks.

Quoting:linux is hardly nonexistent!


That's right, according to Microsoft Linux has about the same, or slightly more, market share as Apple OSX.

What's really interesting, is that is you point this out, the Windows Zealots, they go to a lot of effort to prove that their god couldn't possibly have that right. It's a funny old world.

@tracyanne It is funny that Microsoft fans are in such a connundum... They believe that Microsoft would not do anything wrong, lie or make a mistake... But they insist that Linux has < 1% market share even though Microsoft says its a lot more than that... Hard for them to explain that... Either Microsoft is lying to make it look like they have credible competition and therefore aren't a de-facto monopoly or Linux really has a lot more market share than they'd like to admit.
