- Mini-notebook runs "Windows friendly" Linux
The RazorBook 400's Genuine CE Linux Operating System is said to be "Windows-friendly," suggesting its interface resembles that of Windows. The distribution includes an "open source Office Suite," which includes AbiWord, GNUMeric, an email client, FireFox 2, and a PDF Reader. The pre-installed software also includes games, schedulers, music players, movie players, and planners.
- Smaller Than a Laptop, but Bigger Than a Phone
This summer, Acer will introduce its 2.2-pound Aspire One. With an 8.9-inch screen and a Linux operating system, the $399 Aspire One just sneaks in under the ultra-mini definition. Later this month, MSI Computer will offer its Wind notebook. With its 10-inch screen, the $499 Windows-equipped Wind is a bit bigger than an ultra-mini; a $399 version loaded with Linux will be sold later this summer.

They are quickly draining out of money with nothing to show in returns. Read the Bill farewell note...OMG...They are going against google with data centers running on Windows !!!! HAHAHHAHA
It will be fun to watch ASP coders trying to get stuff right. I mean this is so hilarious. I cant imagine a data center running on Windows Server 2008, IIS, MSSQL, ASP.NET
I swear I want to see what happens to them, if one of the trojan hits it. It will be fun to watch. Reformat the whole data center and reinstall everything. LOL.
I can feel the fear in MS. They are going to crash BIG TIME !!
