Moblin 2.1 released

,----[ Quote ]
| In an initial test at The H, Moblin 2.1 
| was, at least visually, much improved over 
| its predecessor, but on a Dell Mini 10v, 
| one of the machines its developers use to 
| test Moblin, the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 
| hardware was either not detected or not 
| functioning, severely limiting the 
| functionality of the mobile operating 
| system.

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.
