DISQUS

Thanks for this interesting explanation about Linux desktop capabilities.

I have been suffering the X.org/Intel drivers regressions (specially on my eee 901) and also the pulseaudio bugs. I hope they will fix them both by the end of the year so I don't have to feel envious of graphics/sound performance on my favourite OS compared to WinXp or Win7 on the same hardware!

And also for the sake of competition!
If Linux can deliver some good and cheap netbooks on ARM and Intel, Microsoft will have to lower their prices even on Win7... and everyone will win. We, the Linux users, will benefit from the adaptations and developments the vendors do "to fix" Linux for their systems and Windows users will benefit from lower Windows license prices. Maybe MAC users will benefit also from the hardware prices going down as well.
