I don't mind opening up FF if something feels too choppy in Chrome, otherwise I will use Chrome.

There are two sides to this really.

1. it did not happen
2. it did, but the Amazon, Apple, & Supermicro are barred from stating as much by the top secret investigation going on.

Yeah, and the counter argument to it happening is the verbose nature in which Apple and other large companies are discussing it not happening.

Well, they don't have the experience at rolling releases like Red Hat, Ubuntu, and Suse do. They are twenty years behind the curve, you gotta expect they to be learning as they go.

@scottalanmiller I agree, this is where Linux shines now....I'd would love to see developers drop windows and push their products to Linux, we only need some big companys like Adobe to adopt this which would push everyone else over..
