All-in-one Nettops resurrecting desktop market

,----[ Quote ]
| A category long dominated by Apple's $1,200 iMac is suddenly rife with 
| nice-looking imitators that pack less power than traditional Windows 
| desktops, but are also gentler on the wallet. They're a subcategory of 
| desktop PCs called Nettops, and, like Netbooks, they're generally defined as 
| a computing platform powered by the Atom processor that runs either Windows 
| XP or a version of Linux. Combined with the all-in-one form factor and a 
| smaller screen than most desktops (between 15 inches and 19 inches), they're 
| essentially the Netbooks of the desktop category.

Linux: "Make my day, Microsoft, kill margins on desktops too. Only Linux
survives without high margins."

Ballmer: GNU/Linux Will Win on Netbooks

| I think this is a very frank analysis of the problem for Microsoft: after
| all, who's going to pay extra money just to get the Windows logo on a
| netbook, when they can get the same features for less with free software...?
