Hands on With ECS's G10IL Mini-laptop With 3G
,----[ Quote ]
| Different configurations, including substituting a Linux OS, will cost less.
| The mini-laptop can also connect to Wi-Fi networks.
|
| The company's J-series, for example, is the low-cost series of ECS's netbook
| family. It will still come with the 10.2-inch screen and HDD, but will skimp
| on other features to try to knock $100 or more off the price, ECS
| representatives said. Both the G-series and J-series come with options for a
| Linux OS from Linpus Technologies.

Intel won't touch Vista
,----[ Quote ]
| ACCORDING TO A memo circulating a few weeks ago, it looks like Intel is
| taking a wise decision and avoiding the Broken OS entirely. Yes, Intel is not
| going to use Vista on its corporate machines... ever.
|
| [...]
|
| 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.
