[News] Linux Beats Windows, Again

Mini-ITX Specialist Finds Linux A Good Fit 

,----[ Quote ]
| "Linux has always been essentially free, but the power of ITX systems
| has increased, the cost of flat-panel displays has decreased and the
| demand for those solutions is growing. The technology, performance and
| demand are increasing together. Digital signage used to mean having to
| spend millions of dollars and suffering through clunky controls.
| 
| "I have nothing against Microsoft in home computing and for commercial
| applications, but if I'm building a dedicated device, you can't beat
| Linux for memory and resources in a state-of-the-art operating system,"
| he continued. "Microsoft makes some compact products, but Linux is lower 
| cost and easier to program. And now you have the power of broadband
| delivering high-res images to flat-panel displays. That possibility
| has created an increase in demand."
