Review: HP Mini 110

,----[ Quote ]
| The $499 version of the Mini 110 weaves its wallet-friendly magic by opting 
| for the free Linux operating system instead of Windows XP. HP has done much 
| to make Linux a doddle to use, including a customised home screen that looks 
| slicker and more professional than anything we've ever seen out of Microsoft. 
| You'll also find some bespoke programs, such as a multimedia player that 
| resembles Apple's Front Row.

| The Mini 5101 will still weigh about 2.6 pounds, and buyers will have their
| pick of Windows Vista, XP Home or Professional, SUSE Linux Enterprise 11, or
| FreeDOS—if they want to install their own version of Linux.

Irate e-mails reveal HP, Microsoft strife

,----[ Quote ]
| A surprise decision by Microsoft jeopardized its relationship with PC giant
| Hewlett-Packard a year before Windows Vista's release, according to internal
| e-mails unsealed late Friday in U.S. District Court in Seattle. The messages,
| between top Microsoft and HP executives, shed new light on the
| behind-the-scenes turmoil that preceded the operating system's troubled
| debut.
|
| "You have demonstrated a complete lack of commitment to HP as a strategic
| partner and cost us a lot of money in the process," wrote HP executive
| Richard Walker in a January 2006 message to then-Microsoft Windows chief Jim
| Allchin. "Your credibility is severely damaged in my organization."
