ABI Research is projecting that in 2009 Linux will represent 32 percent of netbook sales, far higher than the seven percent figure claimed by Microsoft, says a report. ABI also estimates that Linux will overtake Windows on netbooks by 2013, largely due to sales in less-developed countries, says the story. feeds@yuku.com (tracyannef) http://freethinkerspub.yuku.com/topic/7552 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 03:42:02 GMT http://freethinkerspub.yuku.com/topic/7551/t/Turkey-Stuffing.html
