Hehe, Google is at it again
. I remember months ago when the rumors started that it was going to be web based.
This is kinda weird though:
"Ubuntu, a semi-free Linux derivative, was rumored to be acquired by Google."
Last time I checked, Ubuntu is Linux running atop the 2.6 kernel..not a Linux derivative
. Linux however is a UNIX derivative, I hope that's what the article meant to say. Also it's completely free...not semi-free. I don't know about you but if Google did acquire Ubuntu I think it would take away the whole reason why Ubuntu is Ubuntu, for the people by the people.
It will be interesting to see how Google attacks the OS industry if it does intend on doing so.
