See! Told you!
Yahoo can make money by alloying itself to Linux and not
with micoshaft which will become its doom.
If yahoo starts off with being on the splashtop distro, it can
graudate to making and selling netbooks with Linux
just like Google is doing and make a lot of money by offering
something unique that others are unable to provide with their
netbooks and distros like alternative or even main stream
shopping experiences.
