Not only does this acquisition make a lot of sense from Google's perspective, but it's hard to see a downside for CloudReady users. The fact the operating system wasn't officially supported by Google was one of the few downsides to the software. It meant you couldn't
I'm sure CentOS users said the same thing when Red Hat (now IBM) acquired the company. Anyone want to take a guess how long until Google quietly shuts CloudReady down?
You're right. Once acquired by a large company, things tend to die, unfortunately... Such a sale is usually only in the interest of the owners/shareholders/venture capitalists. https://killedbygoogle.com/ Cheers, Peter -- Peter Reutemann Dept. of Computer Science University of Waikato, NZ +64 (7) 577-5304 http://www.cms.waikato.ac.nz/~fracpete/ http://www.data-mining.co.nz/
