I have been watching the news articles about netbooks since before I actually owned one. Lately, there has been an increasing sentiment that Linux on netbooks is on the way out and Windows is in complete command of the market. Even Lenovo jumped on the windows bandwagon about this. it’s really been pretty rampant. Well, today I read a news article about some netbooks running Windows that are already virus infected right out of the box. Now, granted, these just happen to be XP machines and not the supposedly fantastic Windows 7, but I remember the hype about Vista too 🙂

Personally I find this pretty funny. For those of you looking to purchase a nice netbook in the near future, please take this as a reminder to give a second thought to a faster, more stable, more cost effective and more user friendly operating system. Demand that your netbook run Linux.
