The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

This thread would probably be more appropriate in the
PCTECH list (http://pctech.l.midrange.com).
I could see the discussion forking and going either way. Microsoft embedded a browser in their operating system, while Google appears to be embedding rudimentary OS functionality in their browser. Should this be an OS discussion? Or a browser discussion? Or a discussion about browser applications?
Google demos are using a netbook that has NO hard drive. All files are stored & downloaded from servers. All applications appear to be either server based, or browser plug-ins. That's quite different than Microsoft's approach to an OS, which appears to always require more and more PC resources, and expense.
Nathan.
