Forums - PC - Microsoft boasts that 96% of netbooks now run Windows

Netbooks are meh IMO , screens are too small and content displays at odd resolutions . Low end laptops are similarly priced but outperform netbooks.

I guess it's good for portability but I still think netbooks are meh.

But for portability you can just get a cellphone with better or similar specs :P

Yup, They aren't powerful enough and big enough to be useful. But aren't small enough to outperform phones, portability-wise

Isn't it strange that people use linux on a lot of phones with no problem at all (and actually often without even knowing they're running linux)? Maybe the biggest problem were crappy distros chosen by netbook manufacturers, a good distro with better preinstalled SW for the most common needs could have satisfied users more.

Linux is everywhere; even in TVs. People should be exposed to Ubuntu, which is as consumer-friendly as Windows but imo a better operating system

It is better for specialized aplications or for enterprise enviroment but for normal desktop user it's still years away from being competitive.

Really the initial savings on OS are quickly consumed by time needed to make it running or relearning interface.

And I can safely say 99% of free programs on linux have free equvalent on Windows.

I got an acer aspire one netbook, and i hated it at first (because linux was on it). But then i download this lite version of XP on it (yes it is illegal =P) and it works like a charm!

 ehm Windows is everywhere, too. :) MS could release a brilliant product and give it away for free plus a hug of Steve Ballmer and you still would consider the competition as the better product.

If Linux was superior, the marketshare wouldn't be like it is right now.
