No Linux Support for Google Music

Okay, Google's big push is to the Cloud. Right? So I got my invitation to
try Google Music Beta. I logged in, Google added a little free music to
give me something to screw around with -- and then I tried to add some of
my own music. Oops. Tilt. You've got to have either a Mac or Windows.
Won't even work on a Chromebook. WT...Fig? (At least I read it won't work
on a Chromebook.)

So... wasn't Google Music part of the push for Chromebooks? How does this
work out? And why couldn't Google figure out how to let users access their
service via a web a browser... like, maybe, Chrome?

Strange turn of events Ah well, Amazon is doing fine for me -- and it
works with Linux, using the browser (what an odd concept, eh Google?).

If it's about *choice* then Windows/Mac users have the *choice* of Amazon,
Google, iTunes or absolutely any other music service that's out there.

Goody for you, fsckwit.

We get it. Windwoes users have the greatest number of choices, in
some areas.

That doesn't make them automatically "the winner".

Idiot.

Welcome to Linux!!!!

Reminds me of the time that semi-hit movie which had something to do
with Linux or Open Source (I forget the name) had a trailer released on
the net and Linux users couldn't view it because it required a plugin
only available at the time for Windows or Mac.

A real laugh and a half!

Hey, you use Linux!!
You have choice!!

Might I suggest the iTunes store?

Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!
