Some analysts, PC makers express concern about netbooks {Engadget}
Jul 21st 2008 3:01PM Thedesolate1, you had me there until your very last word. MS' control of windows, and Windows widespread appeal and usage is not because of a monopoly. It's because of good marketing and the fact that with windows, most companies can be sure all of their programs will work well without having to teach their employees how to run something as root
As for the article, I have a major problem with analysts and pc makers complaining about this. The netbook is a solution to a certain market. I don't think anyone knew how large that market really was until the eee. Many people need a laptop that can do email, use spreadsheets, and do some light web browsing. As an example, my mother has been using an old laptop with a P3 and running windows 2000 for all of her work-at-home stuff. A netbook would be ideal for her, because she doesn't run any processor or graphics-intensive aps.

Jun 5th 2008 12:05PM Aside from big brother concerns, then yes, you are correct. But I. for one, support anything that doesn't belong to the feds.
And even if they didn't own the sites/towers, the companies could still charge for service, not to mention the fact that those charges go to building and maintaining a cellphone network.
