What is it wrong about this article?
The author picked up a comment made somewhere, that says:

"ReadWrite Web's Sarah Perez referred to Peppermint as "A new Linux OS for the cloud"

Then, the he translated the sentence

"Linux OS for the cloud"
as
"Linux cloud OS"

Does the meaning of the two sentences is the same? I am sure it is not.

- Cloud OS mean that the "cloud" is embedded in the OS.
- Linux OS for the cloud, mean that it is a normal Linux OS, where part or all of the included software allow the use of "cloud" applications.

Let's compare this two sentences:
- Linux OS for the students
- Linux students OS

Linux for students and Linux made by students: Is this the some thing? Sure not.

Then, the answer to this question;
...does it just tell us that if you throw the word "cloud" into your PR materials that more people are willing to pay attention?

I can comfortably think that the world "cloud" was used in this article as "PR material" to the public, to "pay (more) attention" to it.

I'm so sorry Lee, how could you have fallen in your own trap?
