Could the eeePC end up being Microsoft's trojan horse?
,----[ Quote ]
| In the excitement of the moment, everyone seems to have forgotten that
| Xandros is one of the companies that lined up meekly in June 2007 to sign a
| patent deal with Microsoft.
|
| [...]
|
| No, this kind of patent deal works through the fear factor. Once there is a
| sufficient large number of people using the software that is susceptible to
| the FUD factor, the company which has IP in the mix begins a campaign through
| issuing warnings of one kind or the other.

DeviceVM's proprietary/Linux split explained
,----[ Quote ]
| Covering Asus' adoption of DeviceVM's Splashtop software in all its
| motherboards and some laptops, we were wondering exactly which parts were
| proprietary and which were Linux - hence pulling back from calling it
| a "Linux OS".

Linux is Part of Asus’s Long Term Plan
,----[ Quote ]
| Asus announced three new Linux products.
|
| I would even go so far to say that if Asus keeps up its support of Linux, it
| may be the company that is credited with bringing Linux on the desktop to the
| masses.

Feeling the heat at Microsoft
,----[ Quote ]
| A couple of years ago you reiterated that IBM was Microsoft's biggest
| competitor and you said not just on the business side, but overall. If I ask
| you who is Microsoft's biggest competitor now, who would it be?
|
| Ballmer: Open...Linux. I don't want to say open source. Linux, certainly have
| to go with that.
