Dell dips its toe a little deeper in the Linux waters
SJVN talks about the first dual Windows/Linux PCs at Dell. Just like their Ubuntu systems, they’re nearly impossible to find on the site; however, as vendors see that Linux can be put on netbooks and other systems, allowing the hardware vendor to pocket the extra profit that would normally go to Redmond for Windows’ license fees, you’ll see more and more.
Looking back, 2008 was bigger than we thought. 2009 will significantly loosen Redmond’s grip on vendors design decisions.
