The new Nokia Booklet 3G will be a Windows-based machine
Quote from: NokiaBlog The new Nokia Booklet 3G will be a Windows-based machineNokiaBlogSad but sensible, given the way Windows has replaced linux on every single commercially available netbook.
Last night I saw someone in the Riverside just down from the Foundry using an Acer Aspire One, he'd ditched the default Linpus and gone with Kuki Linux which was handy as I've not been impressed with Eeebuntu on the Aspire One that I bought and am looking to switch.
so netbooks got more powerfull for the sole purpose of running windows?nothing to do with just technology getting better?
Get with the program Jim, Linux is so amazing hardware requirements are going backwards. In two years Slackers will be running a 386. With moore's law running the other way he'll actually get paid to take it out of the shop. Suck on that Gates!
Having lots of memory isn't only benaficial for running your OS, its good for everything. I've got 2gig in my netbook, big deal. You can probably get 4gig.
My EEE netbook has a 20Gb SSD, I run a mega cut-down version of XP (I used nlite to get rid of all the bollocks windows shite), so it uses sod all ram. Think the XP install is now below 300Mb...I love the SSD, it's the reason I bought the laptop. The machine is virtually silent and the standard basic battery lasts for 8 hours!I am thinking of trying EEEbuntu on it though, I'm curious as to why Slack---line doesn't like it???
