Netbook users: Microsoft says three apps is enough
,----[ Quote ]
| It makes sense in pure business-school 101 terms, but I think our culture is
| turning away from such heavy-handed business strategies as this. Social
| media, participatory communities and the current financial crisis is giving
| strength to those companies, brands and individuals who make a fair, honest
| and authentic contract with their users. (Just look at our recent
| Presidential campaign.) I’m not sure a pop up window saying, “Sorry, You
| Can’t Launch Excel Right Now. Please Close Firefox or Upgrade Today” really
| creates that impression. But is that enough? Will Linux really be able to
| compete against Redmond? I think this policy may make it slightly easier, but
| honestly it’s a difficult challenge. David, get out your slingshot of
| computing freedom.

| On the same stand a large screen showed off the design appeal of the latest
| Ubuntu. This includes multiple windows rotating or rescaling. As this is
| better understood some Netbook users may return to Linux. Asustek Chairman
| Jonney Shih has predicted that about 60 percent of Eee PCs to be shipped in
| 2009 will have Windows XP.
