Desktop Linux is tremendously profitable, even though customers don't get many machines and developers don't see much of the profit. (In the long run, will it be in major hardware vendors' interest to support a credible Linux threat?)

Step 3, profit. Posted Nov 22, 2009 19:32 UTC (Sun) by anton (guest, #25547) [Link] I fear that ARM-based netbooks are also a short-term tactic to get negotiating power. I hope that they will really have to sell some to us before closing that line down because they got the prices from Intel that they wanted. Or maybe we will have to see a Windows XP or 7 port to ARM before that happens.
