#2It would be good if we could look at his actual statement/blog post rather than an analysis. Given how so few of his words are mentioned in the "article", it makes me wonder if the 'press' is misinterpreting what he really said.

#3"It was mathematically proved decades ago that it is impossible -- not an engineering impossibility, not technologically impossible, but the 2+2=3 kind of impossible -- to create an operating system that is immune to viruses." Does anyone know what he's referring to? That would be an interesting read.

#4I really don't think anyone should view this claim as anything more than marketing claims and statements, not actual technical claims or guarantees.

True. Although this might enable an undesirable behaviour, since anything you pay attention to grows. So if one can't vote down. Voting something 'up' is effectively a vote down for all others.

#8"Google, while announcing its new Chrome operating system late Tuesday, said users would no longer have to worry about viruses, malware and security updates"
Good marketing. Tough to live down when you're first discovered to be "human" (developed by software engineers) - as it will be when Apple's first takes a major hit [which news suggests the iPhone may be vulnerable to].

#9Perhaps a needed dose of sanity (even if hyped) to counter Google wishful thinking/marketing: "Google, while announcing its new Chrome operating system late Tuesday, said users would no longer have to worry about viruses, malware and security updates"

#10Whatever they do, I just hope they release the code. That way even if their redesign fails, the FOSS community will have something to learn from it, and if it's the best thing ever, it can be ported over to other Linux distros.
