Microsoft's Windows 7 Is a Threat to Linux - But Watch Out for Google

Microsoft's Windows 7 Is a Threat to Linux - But Watch Out for Google

We're watching a new cycle of Moore's law: "Less is Moore".

The computers of 3 years ago are good enought today. Thus, instead of getting more for the same price, people are starting to ask for the same, but for much less.

A laptop configuration that costed $1000 then, can be bought for $300 now -- and will probably cost around $100 in the next 3 years.

Linux already won 20% of the huge netbook market (11 million in 2008), and Microsoft won't be able to compete on price: Windows will always cost more than Linux.
