Moblin based Netbooks in the near future
Jim Zemlin, executive director of the Linux Foundation has given enough hints that we might soon see netbooks powered by Moblin Linux platform.
He said: “You’re going to see this week interesting new netbooks coming out that are killer. They have the cool factor and they’re priced right.”
The first generation of Moblin netbooks could be showcased at the Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco.
Zemlin even went on to predict that netbooks might soon be available for free in the market along with a service contract. And they would be powered by Linux OS.
Microsoft just cannot compete with Linux on the price front. He said: “Microsoft went in and gave away XP for free to shore up market share in an emerging space that’s fast growing. But they can’t sustain that forever, they can’t do it with Windows 7.”
