Here is an interesting quote from the article:
"Microsoft also is contending with the popularity of cheaper laptops
that run older and less-expensive versions of Windows. Called
netbooks, the machines typically cost less than $500 and run the Linux
operating system or Windows XP instead of the current Windows Vista.
Among the 25 most popular laptops on Amazon.com today, only one, the
18th best seller, runs Vista."
Vista in 18th place. How about that.
