As much as Linux folks wish to believe otherwsie, it's marketing, not necessarily function, that guides most of the marketplace growth. Witness how VHS beat out Beta in video tape, though Beta was a better product. Microsoft has firmly taken over IBMs 1980s acronym of Inferior But Marketable. This nitpicking about Linux vs MS OS offerings aside, IMHO, Linux is never going to make its mark as a major market OS until somehow it offers a top end gaming platform equal to (and ideally compatible with) what Microsoft offers the PC world. Linux folks should just be glad that the marketing wizards at Microsoft haven't figured out they could go a long ways to crushing the Linux world out of existance and reasserting themselves as the dominant player if they offered their lastest OS as an upgrade for something like $25/unit to all END USERS (not just OEMs). With such a move, MS could quickly consolidate virtually all of it's market to a single OS for it to manage instead of 3 or 4 different OSs with 3 or more flavors a piece. Thankfully, they seem lost in the forest as much as anyone on some issues... I wouldn't use Windows if it was offered for free. A lot of people get new versions of Windows free with new computer and still install Ubuntu. The price of the license is far from the only reason people choose Linux over Windows.

lakestevensdental lakestevensden...@verizon.net writes: But $25 is nothing to sneeze at. I would still rather pay $25 less and install kubuntu on the entire drive than pay $25 more and end up with dual-boot. Either way, it's still Linux I'll be using, so why should I have to pay extra for something I neither want nor need? You appear to be ignoring the power of numbers. Nokia's netbook, bundled with Windows will sell far more units with than without. The larger quantity sold with Windows will allow Nokia to produce sell their netbook for less than otherwise, perhaps more than $25 less. Besides, having to manage a smallish inventory for a Windowless version would be a hassle (expense) for Nokia and sellers. So get over the $25 cost of Windows. If you want an Ubuntu netbook, just install it when you get it. You're not making any sense whatsoever. It doesn't cost anything for them to maintain a small inventory of OS-less machines - all they have to do is skip a few steps in manufacturing - and the number of Windows machines they sell just makes it that much easier for them to give a discount for OS-less machines. After all, you don't actually think they're making Windows available at cost, do you? Spoken like someone who's never produced anything, nor had to manage inventory. For those making and selling netbooks, the cost of the OS is probably some variation of a 'loss leader'. Bundled with Windows one may sell a lot more product, which allows production, development and marketing costs per unit to be significantly reduced, more than the cost of adding Windows. It costs plenty for everyone from Nokia to the computer store to create and maintain a small inventory of OS-less machines that might otherwise be sold bundled with Windows. For one, banks (and/or production/outsource folks) don't sit around waiting for months for a small inventory of Linux units to be sold to get paid off. If it were a hassle to install Ubuntu on a Windows netbook, you might have a point, but such isn't the case. If you want Linux netbook, buy a Windows netbook, download Ubuntu and install (perhaps 3 clicks?). It's not rocket science. ___ So, how do you explain other companies selling netbooks with Linux? They don't know what they are doing? -- The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

If you want an Ubuntu netbook, just install it when you get it. The hassle you speak of comes from dealing with an 800 pound gorilla that has historically only been reigned in by the Commission of the European Communities. ... The hassle has little to do with Microsoft, everything to do with production realities, mass markets and managing inventory. Asus plowed the road for everyone with their eee netbook which first came out with a Linux distro. While the eee was popular new format, the eee-netbooks only really took off when Windows XP was offered as the OS of choice. Right. I thought MS jumped on the wagon, because netbooks with Linux became popular. Apparently not so... When bundled with Windows, the cost of netbooks actually dropped because production numbers increased allowing development costs to being shared amongst thousands more units. OK. Then me seeing Linux-based EEE PC cheaper than Windows-based ones is probably a problem with my eyes. Funny thing, MS had to convince Asus that selling EEE PC based on Windows exclusively is in Asus' own interest. I guess Asus didn't know what they were doing... Like many, I wish the market would embrace one of the Linux versions instead of Windoze. MS (author of the world's largest computer virus) seems to be doing all it can do to promote the development of other OSs with it's Vista debacle, soon to be replaced by a W7 debacle (IMHO). Seems to me, the primary technical thing that is probably holding adoption of Linux back has more do with the lack of a strong gaming/video platform on Linux to fill the DirectX niche. Not everyone is playing games on PCs. Looking at the size of the gaming industry and PCs share of it, it definitely isn't so. The majority of users are not playing games. Beyond that, Linux folks need to learn to better embrace the marketplace. Linux folks don't really care about the marketplace. Or I can say it differently, the market share is not a priority for Linux. Linux is not a company. It's not making money. It doesn't have to report revenue. People are involved in Linux development because they themselves use it. So, as long as there will be a minimum number of people, number enough to continue development and support it, Linux will exist. Market share is not important here. One mln users or 10mln doesn't really help Linux development, because the majority of users are not involved in its development. Of course, market share increases hardware support. But as Apple's case shows a couple of percent is enough for that. Freeware (like the 400 or so apps of varied utility and use populating the n810 and Maemo) is all fine and good, but average endusers are much more inclined to the comfort of marketplaces like the AppleStore where then can click and download 'almost' free games and apps for about the price of a latte or less. Again, I am not sure Linux developers actually care about the average enduser so much. It's not the priority. Contrary to common Linux beliefs, there's nothing wrong with offering a simple cost effective marketplace for folks to buy software. It helps pay developers to develop more and better software. Linux is again way behind the curve in marketplace savy. Witness how the n800 series came without (and still pretty much lacks) a decent PIM. Like what the reward for someone to port a PIM to this small market niche? Never heard about this common Linux belief. Probably missed it... -- Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat its mistakes. - Unknown ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

Unfortunately, my character is irrelevant; my logic holds. Which you didn't because both my phone and my N800 can do everything the handspring visor can do. K Wrong. Neither your phone nor your N800 can be used as a consumer learning IR remote, with unlimited devices and commands, completely customizable screens, sophisticated macros and unlimited timers.

Neither has anything like the battery life, or cheap, universally available and easily replaceable batteries. Neither can be expanded with hardware modules. Certainly there are lots of things that your phone and tablet can do that the Visor can't, and their hardware's speed and power are much greater (but not more flexible), but the point here is that neither your phone nor your tablet has approached anything but a tiny portion of their potential, whereas the Visor's capability has been exploited to the nth degree. That's what makes your phone and tablet so easily replaceable (which you even said yourself).
