Will Linux Overtake Windows XP in Netbooks?
,----[ Quote ]
| With cost-cutting pressures expected to continue into the post-recessionary
| phase, ABI Research predicts that Linux will benefit from the entry into the
| market of lower-cost netbooks that run ARM-based processors.
| The research firm also predicted that by 2012 Linux and "alternative
| operating systems" (OSes) will overtake Microsoft's Windows XP in netbook
| sales. Apart from low-end netbooks, ABI cited the arrival of mobile stacks
| such as the Linux-based Android that are suited for these platforms as the
| main reason.
