Jolly new cloud computing netbook OS seeks to bring market back to Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Out of nowhere, an independent software developer has produced his own fast
| and fancy netbook operating system. It promises lightning boot times, an
| iPhone-esque icon-studded interface, modern cloud apps. The secret ingredient
| is Linux.
|
| Netbooks are a way of life. Who'd have thought even just two years ago that
| what punters really wanted was low-cost dinky little laptops? Yet, since the
| release of the original 7” ASUS Eee just before Christmas 2007 the market has
| exploded.

| 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.

Cheap PCs Weigh on Microsoft
,----[ Quote ]
| But most netbooks have less processing power than their full-featured cousins
| and can’t run high-spec versions of Windows, the world’s most widely used
| operating system. Microsoft is selling netbook makers cheaper, lighter
| versions of its operating system, but some manufacturers cut it out
| altogether by using Linux, an open-source OS. About 30% of netbooks, which
| sell for as little as $300, run a version of Linux.
