Computer makers set to launch Netbook 2.0
,----[ Quote ]
| The netbook category is posing a challenge for Microsoft, the biggest
| software group, as manufacturers turn to alternatives to its Windows
| operating system, writes Chris Nuttall.
|
| To help cut costs, the free Linux operating system is featured in many
| products, while the use of flash memory rather than hard drives along
| with ‘virtualisation’ techniques means that Windows is being bypassed in
| others.
|
| Consumers are beginning to associate netbooks with “instant-on” features,
| which mean that they can be used in a few seconds rather than waiting a few
| minutes for Windows to be booted.

Linux Carried Along on Netbooks Wave
,----[ 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...
