[News] Vista 7 Stinks Badly on Sub-notebooks, GNU/Linux to Capitalise

math: Windows 7 + netbook = failure - GNU/Linux as remaining winner!

| Windows XP is basically gone, so an OEM license is worth 20 USD for a 
| manufacturer, no problem at all. Windows 7 for Netbooks is the same as all 
| other Windows 7 variants - no lean, light, vlighted, 7lited or whatever. Just 
| a Starter version like in Windows Vista which gives you the "power" to run 
| maximum 3 applications at the same time. Where again is the advantage? Oh 
| yes, now Windows 7 Starter crippled edition costs a bit more than 20 USD for 
| OEM, I would say around 99 USD after discounts, tax not included or did you 
| think MS stops earning money?
