Windows 7 'Brain Dead Edition' (aka Starter Edition)
,----[ Quote ]
| Of course, the "upgraded" Windows 7 still can't compete with a Linux
| installation on features (can you say "OpenOffice"? Sure, I knew you
| could...), so MS is apparently hoping that consumers will give them even MORE
| money for MS Office.
|
| Tired of Microsoft cleaning out your wallet for you? Then just say NO to
| Windows and MS Office!

| Microsoft's newest operating system Windows 7 will leave much of the

| footprint. This was confirmed to iTWire by a local Microsoft executive today,
| although she did not spell it out in those words.

Ballmer: GNU/Linux Will Win on Netbooks
,----[ Quote ]
| I think this is a very frank analysis of the problem for Microsoft: after
| all, who's going to pay extra money just to get the Windows logo on a
| netbook, when they can get the same features for less with free software...?
