Slashdot said:\r\n\r\n&quot;This is an interesting point made by a Clayton Hallmark on IndyMedia out of Argentina. He predicts that cheap Asian computing appliances with an Open Source Operating System on a chip will be the ultimate MS killer. References to the US$220 Mobilis out of India suggest the begining of newer, more powerful, and cheaper things to come. Mr. Hallmark also points to the success of the Wal-Mart cheap PC as proof the end is near for proprietory software. Overall an in interesting and thought provoking read.&quot;","numcomment":0,"fileurl":"\/uploads\/2005\/05\/mobilus_graphic.gif","filesize":"12.4 kibibytes","article_url":"\/news\/2005\/05\/127803.php","image":{"original":"\/uploads\/2005\/05\/mobilus_graphic.gif"}},"attachments":[],"comments":[]}
