Have you considered a FirefoxOS port of Spark?

The tablet/laptop you speak of isn't cheap, because of the OS license. Chromebooks can be cheap (like $200 cheap) because ChromiumOS/Linux is free (in both senses of the word). I h…

Ahem, your post sounds so enthusiastic about a product that has proven to be a dud with consumers, that I'm missing some kind of disclosure from you. Therefore, let me ask you this…

Or perhaps it could just be that we find anything made by microsoft mind-numbingly uninteresting. Just like anything made by SAP, IBM, Oracle, CA and other old-guard tech companies…

This kind of what's-a-good-word-for-it behavior is what makes me wish upon a star that microsoft would slide into irrelevance already and leave the software industry alone. Oh. I k…
