"Lim also spoke about the advantages of Linux over Windows,
""The advantages of using a Linux system include advanced power
management, optimized boot and shutdown times, as well as more WiFi
and 3G support such as software development kits from
telecommunication providers"
"I'm sure some will dismiss Mr. Lim's projections as
self-serving since Linpus is a Linux distributor heavily invested
in the netbook market. It turns out Mr. Lim isn't alone in seeing
Linux equal or even overtake Windows on netbooks. ABI Research sees
it happening but they see it taking a bit longer than a year. They
see Linux regaining dominance on netbooks by 2012. ABI cites
the arrival of low-end ARM-based netbooks as part of the
reason for a Linux resurgence. They also cite the arrival of Linux
distributions designed for mobile devices, particularly Android and
Moblin. Windows doesn't run on ARM processor based systems."
