| However, if what we've already heard holds up, then we're looking at 
| 8.9-inches dolled up in a sub-$500 price tag with a choice of both Windows XP 
| Home or Ubuntu Linux, 8-in-1 card reader, integrated webcam, direct media 
| playback buttons, and a "host of wireless access options." Expect more next 
| week as the Computex show kicks off.

Microsoft's SEC (http://www. microsoft.com/msft/SEC/default.mspx):

 "A prominent example of open source software is the Linux operating system...
 To the extent open source software gains increasing market acceptance, sales 
 of our products may decline, we may have to reduce the prices we charge for 
 our products, and revenue and operating margins may consequently decline."
