[...] last June, but Microsoft changed its mind, and decided to continue selling and supporting XP, but only bundled with low-cost and low-powered PCs, which is essentially the netbook market. That definition includes a screen that’s less than 10.2 [...]

Instead of welcoming this unexpected revenue and going for it full-bore, MS has just committed suicide:

The problem is these deals always mean XP home, and I hate that because I can’t fix up the security policies how I like.

I must admit that when I first heard of the mini-note coming out with Linux I was quite willing to give it a try. But as we all know, HP failed and failed hard on that account.

Piranhas eat their pray much faster than lions.

These low cost machines will make not only Linux, but also OpenOffice, a mainstream thing. Microsoft is not in a good bargaining position, and will probably have to be much more flexible than that. Soon we’ll see very cool advanced machines running compiz fusion (search for it on youtube for those who have no clue what it is), and then things will look increasingly bad for MS.

Apple may be on safer grounds, but not for much longer, as Macbook Air users will start to feel ridiculous next to the (less than half price) HP mininote… and Apple will either have to join this space or watch others blossom. Of course, they might jump in with a larger, enhanced ipod touch or something, and still keep their beautiful margins there.
