Microsoft on HP and Linux, 2002: oh, noes

,----[ Quote ]
| I have another Comes v. Microsoft exhibit to 
| share with you, Exhibit 9542 [PDF], a 
| November 22, 2002 email to Jim Allchin and 
| Orlando Ayala from Mike Oldham. It has to do 
| with a planned meeting on the 25th between 
| the two companies, on their "Better Together" 
| theme. I think it will explain some things 
| we've sometimes wondered about. One thing is 
| clear. Microsoft was seriously concerned 
| about Linux. And HP? Somewhat flexible, I'd 
| say. Note the part about "the HP plan of 
| record" to "bring a new Linux powered device 
| into the mid-range marketplace" regarding NAS 
| devices (network attached storage devices) 
| and how Microsoft was able to convince them 
| not to do that.

H.P. Develops a Netbook Petri Dish

,----[ Quote ]
| For one, H.P. has done away with a previous
| netbook model that ran the Linux operating
| system instead of Windows. Linux types,
| however, still have an option. Or put another
| way, everyone now has a Linux option.
|
| H.P. has brought the QuickWeb software it
| developed with the start-up DeviceVM to its
| netbook line.
