Netbook OS Shouldn't Matter, But It Does
,----[ Quote ]
| Last week we heard about the first Android-powered Netbook (which I wrote
| about in First Android Netbook Nothing to Write Home About). Then on Friday,
| analyst Michael Gartenberg, who is VP of Strategy at Interpret, and who
| writes frequently about consumer technology sent the following Tweet:
|
| Is Android's future in Netbooks? NO! of course not.
|
| I tweeted back:
|
| @Gartenberg Not exclusively, but I could see Android being a viable Netbook
| OS.
|
| And Gartenberg replied:
|
| @ron_miller hard to see it. not the right apps and no better than Linux.
| Linux Netbook return rate is huge.

Microsoft on Twitter! Flanakin Microwalker on Windows 7!
,----[ Quote ]
| As regulars here are aware, in between commenting on tech issues, I do like
| to challenge comments which I think need clarity at the very least. Heres
| Flanakin hes a senior development consultant for Microsoft and would like to
| tell you a few things about Windows 7:
|
| “wow… the polish on Win7 RC is absolutely beautiful… some small things are
| astoundingly better than the beta”
|
| “repaving my oldest machine with Win7 RC”
|
| and whats the spec of this old PC? Two months old is it?
|
| [...]
|
| So I decided to give Flanakin Microwalker’s site a visit.
| http://michaelflanakin.com/ heres a snippet of what he has to say there:
|
| “I’m an open source advocate, when it makes sense, and have a strong software
| engineering and architecture background.”

Microsoft + Federated Media + Twitter = ExecTweets
,----[ Quote ]
| I was curious if there was more to the ExecTweets site than met the eye. Was
| Microsoft just paying for advertising/marketing mentions on Twitter?
