Atom Demand Still Stymied by Testing Bottleneck
,----[ Quote ]
| Demand for Intel's Atom processor is strong, with computer makers clamoring
| for more chips to plug into the small, portable laptops called netbooks, but
| the chips remain in short supply. The problem isn't that Intel can't make
| enough of the silicon chips -- the company can, and it is -- but availability
| remains stymied by a testing bottleneck that prevents the chip maker from
| meeting demand.

Ubuntu Netbook Remix: the movie
,----[ Quote ]
| With all of the netbook talk these days, it's no surprise that we're also
| talking about various Linux distros. While many netbooks are offered with
| Windows XP, most are offered in a lower-priced, and sometimes lower-spec'd
| Linux version. I often get reader e-mails asking how Ubuntu works on this
| device or that device, so I wanted to point out this screencast of the Ubuntu
| Netbook Remix. It's not terribly exciting or anything, but it shows where the
| Canonical team is heading on the netbook front. The "remix" isn't a new
| Ubuntu edition; it's simply a revamp of the current Ubuntu build (8.04)
| that's optimized for the attributes of a small-screen, lower powered notebook
| and it includes the basic apps most folks need to get started.

They keep improving and getting cheaper, which is a ch-allege to pricey

Intel won't touch Vista

| So that leaves two other choices, Linux and Mac. Linux is a distinct
| possibility, they already have an in-house distro that causes employees look
| nervously around the room when you talk about it. Although it is not a
| desktop variant, there is no reason that they could not roll one given two
| years.
