- DangerCollie, on 11/08/2008, -0/+7If you want an idea of how the sub-note trend is likely to progress, take a look at Japan. They were well ahead of other markets when it comes to internet appliances.
What you're likely to see is not good news for Microsoft. In Japan the trend toward smaller, cheaper appliance type devices has increased. Unless you're gaming, running CAD or editing video, you just don't need a massively big desktop anymore.
The sub-note trend combined with the increasing variety and sophistication of online productivity tools makes these devices useful beyond Remond's comfort level. Rumor has it that Windows 7 will include MinWin. It'll be interesting to see how that's priced and what functionality it delivers. Honestly, I don't think MS can compete in that space because it moves faster than they can react. Making the whole Linux on the desktop debate largely academic. - deadleaf, on 11/08/2008, -1/+6Just what they deserve..

...er...10? 11? - d2002, on 11/09/2008, -1/+1I have to say, though, my asus works pretty well with Windows XP.
- argylesocks, on 11/09/2008, -1/+1Even when Linux is clearly taking leaps and bounds towards being ready for average users desktop computers many people are still skeptical. These people don't understand that development of linux has become much faster as a result of the massive social collaboration made possible with the internet in just the past few years. I think some still think we pass it around on floppy disks because they often site how 199X was supposed to be the year of the linux desktop and it has passed so obviously it will never come.
