Asus launches netbook app store, drops Linux netbook hints
,----[ Quote ]
| The Asus App Store is basically a branded
| version of the Intel AppUp Center. Itâs
| designed as a place where netbook users can
| go to find software thatâs guaranteed to work
| well on devices with Intel Atom processors
| and small screens. Asus will preload the App
| Store software on all Windows netbooks
| starting in the second half of 2010.

Asus has NOT abandoned Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| We came across this article written by Steven
| Nichols, Computer World, who believes Linux
| is dead on netbooks. Well, guess what Asus
| Asia has been selling the Asus Eee 1201T with
| Express Gate which is actually a customized
| Linux OS. This allows them to sell this AMD
| NEO-powered machine under $380 because Linux
| does not cost a penny. It comes with AMD NEO
| processor, 2GB RAM, 320GB HDD, 12.1-inch
| 1366Ã768 pixel display and a very spacious
| chiclet keyboard.

| First ASUS unleashes netbooks with GNU/Linux.
| Then they push that other OS. Now they are
| selling good netbooks with no OS but
| Expressgate. Whatâs with that?
|
| Surely M$ does not approve. Is this another
| sign that M$ is losing its grip on OEMs?

Asus' Eee PC 1201T ultraportable
,----[ Quote ]
| Slapping on Linux solves the cost issue, and
| devotees of open-source operating systems
| may rejoice at the prospect of dodging the
| infamous "Microsoft tax." But does Linux
| really work as well as Windows on a system
| like this? And most importantly, is the
| 1201T's hardware compelling, regardless of
| the OS situation?
