Already Microsoft got big worry about Linux competition in the server market. Now it continues in PCs and laptop markets too.
Yes Microsoft designs the windows7 to kill Linux market
The main threat to windows comes from “netbooks” inexpensive laptops that typically use Intel’s low-powered Atom processor.
They are mainly used for browsing and little word-processing.
The funny thing with this netbook is they can’t handle Vista so they can run only with XP. But linux really gives nice support to netbooks (thats the beauty of linux).
As a result Acer and Asustek who holds 90% of netbook market where using linux on 30% of their product. Another thing is if a netbook uses linux they will not use Microsoft office so here is double hit for Microsoft.
If a user uses linux in his netbook and after getting familiar automatically he will start using linux in desktop. Here the Microsoft get real threat
So now Microsoft building windows 7 to work well in netbooks. In a recent Professional Developers Conference Windows Senior Vice President showed Windows 7 on his Lenovo laptop and said that it used less than half of the netbook’s RAM (1GB)
By this Microsoft plans to capture the linux’s netbook market.
What do you think whether windows 7 will drop the linux’s netbook market?
