Why don't the Linux folks team up with IBM-ViaVoice and and come out
with an excellent voice-optimized GUI? Why compete with M$ head-to-head?
Do an end-around and grab a specialty piece of the market that will explode
in a mere couple of years ... be ahead of the wave with superior design,
technology, and stability.
Then add a diskless server and a bunch of 14" audio-video appliances that
can be cheaply set around the house using wireless links so folks may do
online audio/audio-video calls, check their E-mail, stock prices, news,
sports, whatever ... all hands free.
Can you say "Hal ... any new E-mails, please?" as you eat breakfast and
get ready from room to room in the house ... video-out discretely toggled
off as appropriate! ;-)
