" . . . in a bid to boost margins that otherwise get consumed by Windows license fees." Huh? Margins for the netbook hardware aren't "consumed by Windows license fees." That is BS. Netbooks offered by the major vendors give you a choice of Windows for $50 more or *nix. Guess which one people are choosing - Windows, of course. No one wants to run a crap OS that has few applications that run on it on their computer. Get a clue . . .
"Not to be outdone, Microsoft's primary partner for Linux interoperability, Novell, is setting up a Taiwanese R&D team to focus on improving Linux for Netbooks" According to Latch and the other FOSS acolytes that visit this web site, *nix is perfect. What is Novell talking about? This must be a typo. lol |
