unreferenced article about not notable vaporware that fails to assert notability and serves no purpose other than promotion WikiScrubber (talk) 02:33, 8 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Article may be unreferenced, but there are plenty of reliable sources available (e.g. [1] [2] [3]). "Fails to assert notability" is not grounds for deletion. The article simply provides information about this operating system; I fail to see how this is promotional. JulesH (talk) 08:50, 8 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep only the future will tell how notably this software is, once it is released and people start using it. Note that even Microsoft itself (with "Azure") is on the cloud computing bandwagon, claiming its competition "not notable" is very non NPOV. Mahjongg (talk) 14:32, 8 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per the references found by JulesH, though I'm not sure the last one is reliable. That said, browser-based, means it's webcontent, which technically could've met A7 criteria for lack of establishing its notability. - Mgm|^(talk) 14:45, 8 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • You're misunderstanding the article. It's not browser-based in the same sense that, say, EyeOS is, but rather it's a standard operating system that only provides a single application: a web browser. It's intended to install on portable computers to give a quick power-on facility. JulesH (talk) 16:14, 8 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Sounds important and reads a little spammy. --Mr Accountable (talk) 06:34, 12 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
