Google Chrome OS is not a browser, Will microsoft products like C# run on it?

Google Chrome Blog: Google Chrome OS - FAQ

I really don't think it's a browser as what many have been speculating. It's written on their official blog that it's an Operating System that runs on top of a Linux kernel. It's way different from a browser or even a Web hosted Operating System like the http://g.ho.st.

My question now is will Microsoft's products like C# and other .net technologies still run on Chrome OS? I hope so.

You can do way better than .NET, come on! There are way better languages out there.

Try Ruby, you'll like it :D

I hope NOT! I am so tired of Microsoft controlling what I use it is time for them to step down! The day Chrome OS comes out it will be Open Source and everybody will start building off of it! You think Linux is a problem now? Wait until it goes mainstream!

Lets compare the 2 businesses here... Microsoft requires all things to run only on it's OS and it's technologies. Google leaves it open for anybody to benefit from it's value and create their own version. It will over saturate Microsoft and Apple's OS. Although there are still the people that don't care to upgrade and don't care to even be involved in these kinds of things while Microsoft and Apple steal their freedom from them without their knowledge; been happening for years.

How to register a business name

Attending business summits and conferences is a big help to those who belong to the quite "techy" (technological or technical) industry. Being a graduate of one, I had less knowledge in the field of entrepreneurship. Enrolling myself in business administration gave me quite the knowledge to be a part of the business world and thus improve my entrepreneurial skills. I now would like to share this information that I got familiar with (and I managed to get a copy of the entire process from the 6th Mindanao ICT Congress): How to Register a Business Name (in the Philippines) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SINGLE PROPRIETORSHIP Applicant must secure 2 copies of registration form and pay Php 300.00 (rate may change) for single proprietorship registration processing fee. The registration shall be valid for five (5) years. A surcharge of Php 100.00 is imposed if renewal is filed beyond the three (3) month grace period, c...

Adding a Footer to the DataGridView component

I have been searching for sites and forums that would give me a any hint on having a footer on the .net DataGridView control. It was frustrating. I found some, but not what I was looking for. I use windows forms. It would have been easier if I was into web. I decided to create one for myself. It's not complete, but it works with me. It needs improvement and I hope that some programmers who might pass through this blog will help me with it :D. Limitations: Cannot set Footer values during design time. Can sometimes hide a row when scrolled to the last item in the grid. What I did was just create a user control that inherits the DataGridView control and add a StatusStrip to act as the footer. public partial class MyDataGridView : DataGridView { public StatusStrip Footer { get { return (StatusStrip)this.Controls["Footer"]; } } private bool _footerVisible; [Browsable(false)] /// /// Sets or Gets the va...

Using Crystal Reports 10 with C#.net and Firebird

C# express doesn't include a report designer or viewer. Reports however, is very much needed when creating a business software. Since C# express doesn't include a report designer, we need to find other means. One is to use a free report such as MyNeoReport. This however may not work under many circumstances. The other alternative would be to use a proven report engine and designer-Crystal Report. Crystal Report has been used by many developers (in our city). However, using a free programming language and IDE, and a free database is very limiting. Not much information can be gathered on the net either (with regards to reporting as of this writing). Here's a way to use Crystal Reports using Firebird database and C# Express as software development IDE: Pre-requisites: C# Express 2005 EMS SQL Manager 2005 for InterBase & Firebird Lite Crystal Reports 10 Create the following database: Name: TestDB1 Tables: TESTTABLE1 Columns:  ID - PK, INTEGER,AUTOINCREMENT DES...
