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.
