| AT&T is testing whether customers will want to buy their laptops like they do 
| their mobile phones: cheap at first but expensive over the long haul. 
| Subsidized netbooks sold like phones is a service supported by Linux leaders 
| as a way to beat Microsoft's Windows in the growing netbook segment, and 
| that's been mooted as a possible direction for Google.

| At this stage, though, it's not clear whether AT&T will make Linux or Windows 
| available on its netbooks.
