Study: Netbook sales growing at 264 percent clip

,----[ Quote ]
| A DisplaySearch study shows netbook sales 
| continuing to defy the recession and the slow PC 
| market, growing at a 264 percent rate in the second 
| quarter year over year, says eWEEK. However, 
| netbooks are also eroding ASPs (average selling 
| prices) across the mobile PC industry, claims the 
| study.

Netbooks by the Numbers

,----[ Quote ]
| The big question is whether or not M$ can afford to 
| allow more than 30 million more PCs to run 
| GNU/Linux each year indefinitely. M$ cannot afford 
| to continue buying the loyalty of OEMs if they drop 
| their prices. There simply will not be enough money 
| to go around soon.
| 
| I expect M$ will delay the inevitable by giving 
| better deals for â7â on netbooks than other 
| platforms. More will switch to netbooks, and, in 
| 2010, M$ will be forced to retrench, either by 
| cutting money-losing lines or ceding the netbook to 
| GNU/Linux.
