April 3, NPD has released a market statistics, this year in February, sales in the U.S. market "mini this" 96% of the pre-installed XP. Thus, on April 4, Microsoft, someone (Brandon LeBlanc) to speak out, and published an article "Windows on Netbook PCs: A Year in Review", and asserted that in the future, regardless of "mini-the" how to develop the hardware, we (Microsoft) guarantee for Windows 7 "will run great on it". We have to ask, the future is that so?
Surprisingly, NPD survey figures just published, we were immediately excited some of the country, 96% of the number of overwhelming, shouted "XP Long live!" Do not worry, let us calm down, take a look at how Microsoft is saying, ask asked how Microsoft is thinking? In fact, Microsoft's mainly based upon: Market Practice shows that the majority of users want to have Windows experience, for example, a user buys Linux "mini-the" return rate as high as 1 / 5 that is proof. The actual situation is not so simple.
April 4, Dana Blankenhorn published an article entitled "The Linux laptop of 2009", the article pointed out that the "mini this" on, XP's OEM licensing fee of only 3 U.S. dollars. It is not hard to imagine, 96% of the market is out out how, by no means just because you have "XP dependency syndrome." The article also said that the second generation of "mini the" coming soon, running on ARM processor (1GHz), using Ubuntu and the Android operating system, the hardware cost only 20 U.S. dollars (not counting boxes and other accessories), Canada on production costs and distribution costs, pricing in 200 U.S. dollars less. Microsoft's Windows 7 to the top of the right to live? This year on June 2 ~ 6, at Computex in Taiwan, the international exhibition is indeed very important, ARM "mini this" will still anonymous, Microsoft how to do?
Microsoft, the "mini this," defined as "small laptops", priced at 500 U.S. dollars less, it seems, that line was not restrain the. Worth noble Windows 7, he just squeezed into 200 U.S. dollars under ultra miniature (miniature) into the computer, and Tai Weiqu himself. "Mini the" real engine of the market from the low price. Ubuntu founder Mark Shuttleworth President, April 2, in response, "Internet News" reporter, said that in the future, the user's (computer) usage and demand major changes will happen at the same time, he said, Ubuntu's OEM Use License will be more competitive (the original is the "value proposition"). This means that in the future, the majority of computer users may not hang on a XP mode. Frankly, "Mini the" wave of the real promoters of low-cost, Linux, rather than the (very) low discount XP. Today, in the "mini this," the market, XP is not the King of the status of long-term. In fact, HP company has 2,500 full-time employees engaged in testing and development of Linux, Dell and Intel not to mention. It is fair to say that once the conditions are ripe, the PC giant overnight, would "betray you." Microsoft is not happy too early.
Linux is a great achievement: to pull dismounted XP (OEM licensing fees only 3 dollars!), Benefit the global users. At the moment, Ubuntu international community has reached 805,159 registrations, of which there are 64,202 people activists, the situation is excellent. Scheduled for April 23 release of Ubuntu 9.04 the latest version, just in time for June's CompuTex exhibition held in Taiwan, (Win 7) is the donkey is a horse, come out yo, let people see who is the real king!
(Note: ARM processors used in smart phones had only run Linux operating system, Windows XP on it simply not run unless Windows CE.)
