The netbook craze is currently in full swing, with these small laptops being advertised everywhere (at least here in The Netherlands); in fact, you can already get netbooks with 3G from the mobile phone carriers at severely reduced prices (but with a one or two year contract, of course). Netbooks are also welcomed by the Linux community as the break they've been waiting for: many netbooks are available with Linux pre-installed. One of the more successful (and powerful) netbooks out there is MSI's Wind, which is also sold under different brand and model names by other companies. In an interview with LaptopMag, MSI's Director of US Sales Andy Tung, however, has some bad news for those that believe the netbook will be the foot in the door that the Linux desktop has been waiting for.

Well, could you then finally enlighten us with the results of your deep research on how the linux kernel prevents good video rendering? I find that quite unbelievable since video performance is actually a lot better on my ancient notebook running videos on linux.
I can view 720p without hickups on Ubuntu while the same videos have many framedrops/freezes on xp.
