Announcing ‘Anjal’- the new mail for netbooks
,----[ Quote ]
| Anjal is a new mail UI created on top of Evolution. It would have a very
| interesting UI & features, that would make it the very suitable for low
| memory/processor/resolution devices. It is Evolution & EDS at the back of
| Anjal. We have broken down Evolution mail library to a smaller component and
| made a reusable shared library to be used by Evolution.

Realistic netbook expectations
,----[ Quote ]
| Regular readers will know that I’ve become quite a fan of netbooks. After
| all, why buy a full-blown notebook when a $300 netbook will meet your needs
| just as well? Even the bargain-basement laptops that are cropping up in the
| $500 range tend to be fairly heavy, so netbooks compete well here too (even
| for the nicer offerings that start pushing $500 themselves).

Microsoft lackeys from NPD (details below) spread some false numbers around and
count _only US sales_ of sub-notebooks. That's where numbers are lowest.

Vista: better than expected

| But wait! The NPD Group? Isn't it that market research firm which
| spotted the opportunities offered by the corporate movie and music
| companies from afar and almost overnight became an expert on p2p
| file sharing with, "highly questionable statistics blatantly
| slanted towards the entertainment cartels?"

Early Vista Sales Don't Tell the Whole Story
,----[ Quote ]
| To be clear: The missing information is to be expected, and I don't
| mean to reflect poorly on Swenson or NPD. Research firms aren't in
| the business of giving away information to the news media, but
| selling it to clients. The information provided to the press
| should be incomplete.
