Why Windows Netbooks are good for Open Source
,----[ Quote ]
| Building on that insight, one thing that might be useful would be to create a
| site specifically for those running Windows XP on netbooks, with a range of
| open source software that's particularly suitable - because it's free,
| requires little resources and is fast.

A Day to Remember: 23 April, 2009
,----[ Quote ]
| And there's another reason why yesterday was significant: Microsoft announced
| what are probably its worst quarter results ever:
|
| Microsoft Corp. today announced revenue of $13.65 billion for the third
| quarter ended March 31, 2009, a 6% decline from the same period of the prior
| year. Operating income, net income and diluted earnings per share for the
| quarter were $4.44 billion, $2.98 billion and $0.33 per share, which
| represented an increase of 3% and declines of 32% and 30%, respectively, when
| compared with the prior year period.
|
| Now, the global financial crisis certainly contributed to those figures, but
| I think there's a bigger underlying trend here, which is that the Microsoft
| money machine is faltering.
