Open source share growing in netbook market
I don't see linux growing in any market. The reports as you stated say linux is on the decline. I'm not a fan of the netbooks and think its a fad that will pass. You personally don't want to drop $200 on a $400 machine, but I can see others that will as a business requirement. Its all about productivity and if Office makes them productive and earns them more than $200 then they will.
