Quote from BBC's article... "The success of the Eee PC and the rush by many companies to release similar products has seen a recent about-turn by Microsoft. The company has said it will extend support of its XP OS on sub-notebooks, in an effort to thwart the growing use of Linux on such machines. It has also slashed the cost of a licence for XP running on netbook machines to just $32 (£17) and £14 in developing countries." Am I right in thinking that £14 is a lot of money in some of the developing countries!?! Still £14/£17 more expensive than Ubuntu ;-) I see VIA have released CAD files and other bits and pieces for their OpenBook which hopefully will mean lots more of these cheap little sub-notebooks.
