Opinion and Analysis
The release of the very nice Asus Eee Personal computer 1000HE signals a turning stage from the sub-notebook marketplace and it can be one particular that Linux desktop advocates won't like. It seems to be such as the ten inch netbook has hit the sweet spot for customers and that sweet spot consists of Windows although not Linux.
As a lot of have discovered, Asus has shipped the 1000HE only with Windows XP and there isn't any Linux version thus far.
The Asustek PR representative in Australia has instructed iTWire that there's no word from Asus when or if a Linux edition of 1000HE is going to be shipped. I haven't checked with Acer with what it intends to accomplish but I reckon it is a fair bet that a Linux 10-inch netbook from that organization is about likely as rain in the Sahara tomorrow.
In his superb current write-up UnderNetbook: A tale of two markets iTWire author and reviewer Stephen Withers pointed out that "netbook" is a somewhat nebulous term.
A netbook 18 months ago was 1 of those original Eee Pc 701 boxes that were little more than oversized mobile phone that couldn't make calls but could surf the net while travelling, could make skype calls and do some basic computing tasks. The 7 inch screen,
Office 2007 Keygen, tiny keyboard, limited storage and lack of computing power made them a extremely limited device.
In fact,
Microsoft Office 2010 Professional, the original Eee Laptop concept - Easy to Work, Easy to Learn,
Microsoft Office 2010 Key, Easy to Play - seemed to be targeted at kids. However, because the early devices were only available on Linux they became a favourite with the Linux geeks who lauded the fact that at very last the Linux desktop had arrived.
Then - shock, horror - Asus started shipping Windows XP versions of its new breakthrough product. The rate at which its netbook industry multiplied when the Windows versions started shipping no doubt caused Asus,
Office Professional 2007, Acer and others to realise on which side the bread was buttered.
