Why Microsoft won't fight moblin

,----[ Quote ]
| Moblin is the solution to the problem of Intel: 
| providing a free, lightweight and powerful OS to sell 
| cheaper netbooks and devices. This allows Microsoft to 
| get out of the "bargain basement OS" market and to 
| focus on a more expensive, higher end market with 
| Windows 7. The differentiation between both OS is 
| large enough to ensure that most people won't buy a 
| Moblin device to replace their computer but to 
| complement it. It suits Microsoft better if consumer 
| purchase a Windows 7 desktop AND a Moblin netbook than 
| if their purchase only a cheap Windows XP netbook.
