  Why Microsoft fears Linux
Time: 07:21 EST/12:21 GMT | News Source: ComputerWorld | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

I've been writing a series of blogs explaining that Linux has reason to fear Windows 7, because it may kill Linux's market share. But there's also plenty of reason for Microsoft to fear Linux, which is why Microsoft is looking to Windows 7 as a Linux-killer.

In my blogs, I've explained that Microsoft has made Windows 7 lean specifically so it can run on netbooks. As evidence, I've pointed to ASUS CEO Jerry Shen saying he plans to release versions of the Eee PC powered by Windows 7 in mid-2009. And I've pointed out the fact that the return rate for Linux netbooks is at least four times as high for Linux machines as it is for XP ones for at least one netbook maker.
