Microsoft is Trying to Gain Control Over ULPCs

(CC-BY-NC-SA -= Treviño =-)

ULPCs or Ultra low-cost PCs are currently dominated by Linux operating systems and so Microsoft is planning to grab that market as well. The idea is to implement Windows XP Home with those PCs as an alternative to whichever Linux distro because let's face it, how much should such a low-end operating system, Windows XP, be sold for? And since those PCs barely have specifications, XP should be able to run them as well as a Linux can. Surely with so much more flaws.

Well if I may comment on this, it's pretty obvious that Microsoft fears that in case more people got their hands on Linux and understood the whole concept of open source, they will eventually lose more people using their OS. Having said that I do believe that the minority of us realize how can Linux be better than Windows in general in so many more aspects and it's just a matter of time until the minority becomes a majority.
