Windows now has over 90 percent of netbook sales, quashing any hopes of an open source revolution in the form of netbooks. Android, however, may be able to change things.

I was in the futureshop next door and there was 6 aspire one , 1 dell mini and a toshiba ... all running Windows XP. I asked about GNU/Linux model and they where out , already sold out , due to lowest price according to vendor ... I asked if they could load GNU/Linux on it to show to someone , they said they come factory made like this , they don't do os swapping locally.
