Microsoft strikes back at Linux netbook push | |
|
||
| Time: 14:19 EST/19:19 GMT | News Source: ComputerWorld | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum | ||

As expected, there's a flood of Linux netbook announcements at the Computex trade show in Taipei, Taiwan. What wasn't expected was for one of the top netbook companies, Asus, to turn its back on one of its own netbooks running Android Linux. | ||

| The Microsoft monopoly in action. Was it the carrot or the stick in both cases? So much for consumer choice. |

#1 Stevie ... don't you feel mildly embarrassed using your nom de plume to post links to your own website? This post was edited by NotParkerToo on Wednesday, June 03, 2009 at 16:58. |

"Frankly speaking, the first question, I would like to apologize that, if you look at Asus booth we've decided not to display this product," he said. "I think you may have seen the devices on Qualcomm's booth but actually, I think this is a company decision so far we would not like to show this device. That's what I can tell you so far. I would like to apologize for that."
Wow... he had to apologize twice... seems like someone at Microsoft gave him a little nudge :) It really shows the state of things when a company develops a product, displays it, it's demo'ed and then all of a sudden apologies are given and the product isn't seen again! Have some balls man! |

#3: I know, it was pathetic. I'll have to remember this one the next time one of the usual microbots starts spouting off about how MS loves choice and their monopoly is beneficial to everyone. And they never, ever abuse it. Ever.

| I think Henry Ford put it best, "You can have any color you like, as long as it's black." :) |
