| It's an "open source" Linux machine that can't run Windows XP or Vista, 
| though you can load either Windows CE (the core behind Windows Mobile) or 
| Android — the operating system Google is pushing on cellphones.

Why Windows 7 on Netbooks Won’t Save Microsoft

,----[ Quote ]
| Even worse, about a third of netbooks ship with Linux. Microsoft makes
| nothing from those machines. Microsoft also recognizes that while Linux has
| offered desktop PC users a less attractive product compared to Windows on the
| PC (largely due to Linux’ lack of support for Windows games, commercial
| desktop apps, and some specialized drivers), the barriers holding back Linux
| on the PC aren’t nearly as significant on netbooks, which don’t play games,
| aren’t expected to run apps outside of basic things like web browsing and
| word processing, and have a smaller subset of hardware needs to support.

Dell admits to small Ubuntu success

,----[ Quote ]
| "We have done a very good job explaining to folks what Linux is" a Dell
| spokesperson told Laptop Magazine. Which makes a change from 18 months back
| when we were reporting that Dell staff didn't seem to know that Ubuntu was
| even an option.
