Not to be confused with "Linux based netbooks were taking up 40%
or more of their netbook class shipments."
What this means is that Linux Netbooks are taking 40% of their NOTEBOOK
shipments, i.e. huge dualcore Vista laproasters etc.
It doesn't say anything about what percentage of the NETBOOK sales are
Linux.
