The Linux Netbook Nightmare:$435 million in vaporized MSFT 2008 profits (cont)

,----[ Quote ]
| For the first time in recent memory, Microsoft has a real operating system 
| competitor for PCs. And Vista is not up to the challenge because MSFT wants 
| to sell it for full price and it’s too resource intensive for low powered 
| netbooks . So MSFT is relying on its two year outdated OS, Windows XP to take 
| on Linux. Vista runs on a neglible 1.5% of Netbooks.

| The makers of the gOS, Linux-based desktop operating system may now find
| themselves at the right place at the right time. With a market that is
| anxiously sizing up the netbook platform - - driven in large part by Intel's
| low-cost Atom processors - - the gOS offers a simple proposition: A
| simple-to-install, free operating system integrated with Mozilla and Google
| technology for fun and productivity.
