"Acer's decision is a blow to Microsoft, which has managed to
achieve a near-monopoly of the netbook market by consciously
selling Windows below cost to reduce most of the price advantage
that had led Acer, ASUS and others to choose Linux in the first
place. Windows had also been chosen due to high return rates for
Linux models over complaints of difficulty, but Android promises to
simplify the experience without limiting support for 3G or other
extras."
