“World's Lightest” 8-inch Netbook is embedded with Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| Weighing in at exactly 1.4 pounds, there's no doubt that the Sony VAIO P is 
| currently the lightest 8-inch notebook computer on the planet. However, its 
| Windows Vista operating system can be anything but light. Thankfully, the 
| Sony VAIO P also comes with a super-fast Linux-based environment called 
| Xross.

,----[ Quote ]
| Morvay revealed to Linux Magazine Online that there were no specific figures
| for Linux netbook sales, but that it lay somewhere in the 40th percentile.
| Even though this figure seems a little high, it is known that many of the
| world's netbooks have Linux on board since their first inception 18 months
| ago.
|
| For example, notebooks with Linux make up about 5.5% of the notebook market
| in Germany...
