Microsoft Leaves the Door Wide Open for Linux on Netbooks
Feb 5, 2009, 12 :04 UTC (3 Talkback[s]) (5641 reads)

"Windows 7 Starter Edition will also be made available to OEM's for installation on netbooks in all markets. This is presumably so that MS can finally end the sales of Windows XP to the netbook makers. I find it hilarious that Microsoft will offer such a limited, pathetic product for the netbook market. This will be a huge opportunity for the Linux community to educate the public about the plethora of free, feature complete Linux distributions available to run on their netbooks."
