Default Re: Windows 7: Microsoft's Linux killer?

Quote:
I expect Microsoft to push Windows 7 for netbooks hard. It's a tremendous growth area, and it's where Linux has been gaining traction. I wouldn't even be surprised to see a netbook-specific version designed for lower-powered processors and less RAM.
Netbook-specific? Its already so low in requirements. (I hope things dont change for the worse in final release..) And if they are optimising it for a lower footprint, by the time it releases; Mobile phones should be able to run it..

Though yeah; Windows 7 does seem promising.
