Why Linux will crush Windows 7
,----[ Quote ]
| Desktop Linux is moving forward. All the major computer vendors are now
| selling at least one PC, laptop or netbook with Linux. Many, if not most, PCs
| and netbooks will have SplashTop Linux soldiered right on their motherboard
| in 2009. Netbooks, the new hot computer model, often have Linux running on
| them. And, oh yeah, some company named Google seems to be making some
| interesting moves with Android Linux on netbooks. Oh, and have I mentioned
| that Windows' market share has actually dropped below 90% of the desktop
| market.

Mortal OS Kombat: Linux versus Windows 7
,----[ Quote ]
| My take: Linux
|
| There's no doubt that Windows 7 will make more headway into the netbook
| market than its failed attempts at capitalizing on this emerging sector in
| 2008. But the ultimate factor in the netbook space isn't the feature-set of
| the operating system. It's the cost. When two similar notebooks exist at a
| hundred dollar price gap, we can't envision a consumer adopting the pricier
| model just for the Windows 7 experience. The hype can't possibly be that
| much of a selling point... right? Consumers might be having a trickier time
| adopting Linux, but in a worsening economy, they might have a more difficult
| time sacrificing that extra cash.

Why Linux makes Windows 7 obsolete
,----[ Quote ]
| As a matter of fact, Microsofts future is squashed between an obsolete
| Windows XP and a Vista nobody wants. With many home users getting tired to
| get and maintain the next pirated version of Microsoft Office and many
| governments moving to ODF I see very dark clouds for Microsofts main cash
| cows. It may be clear by now that Windows 7 is nothing more than a
| refurbished Windows Vista. Aero has been polished a bit more, some of the
| major resource hogs may have been optimized, but all in all it is nothing
| more than Vista SP2.
