Hi Hans -- <<< > Before you counter my email, I recommend you read this article: > http://www.zdnet.com/amazons-top-selling-laptop-doesnt-run-windows-or-mac-os-it-runs-linux-7000009433/ >>> No problem - I just wanted to note, I suppose, I haven't written anything in this thread to be expected to "counter on your e-mail" and that I do not have any "standards" by which I'd "make google evil by their trying to squeeze out their browser competitors" in their Chromebooks. As John Bartow noted here recently: << I'm not anti-apple. I'm just not pro apple. I'm not anti-Google. I'm just not pro Google. I'm not anti-Microsoft. I'm not pro Microsoft. >> -- Shamil Вторник, 29 января 2013, 15:54 -08:00 от Hans-Christian Andersen <hans.andersen at phulse.com>: >Forgive me if something was lost in translation, but were you just letting me know what articles you have read or did I misunderstand something? > >- Hans > > >On 2013-01-29, at 3:44 PM, Salakhetdinov Shamil < mcp2004 at mail.ru > wrote: > >> Hi Hans -- >> >> <<< >> Before you counter my email, I recommend you read this article: >> http://www.zdnet.com/amazons-top-selling-laptop-doesnt-run-windows-or-mac-os-it-runs-linux-7000009433/ >> I suppose this remark is for Jim and his note " that both Apple and MS will make moves to eliminate competing browsers"? >> >> And I have already read the article you refer as well as the articles I have referred in my quoted posting - from all that articles' info I'd assume that it would be unwise to try to eliminate competing browsers. >> >> Thank you. >> >> -- Shamil >> >> >> Вторник, 29 января 2013, 15:31 -08:00 от Hans-Christian Andersen < hans.andersen at phulse.com >: >>> And the fact that both Chrome and Safari are based on WebKit, which is a project that is open sourced on the BSD licence, which essentially means the code is all yours, do what you wish with it (unlike with GPL, which has some conditions). >>> >>> How come no one ever mentions the fact that you cannot install any other browser on a chomebook?
