Linux.



When you pump millions of pounds into a linux distro, not much is expected to go wrong. Don't forget the PS3 runs on a linux distro.


I'm not saying Linux is bad. What I am saying is that it's unaccessible to many people, and that presents a problem. For example, does iTunes install itself on Linux as easily as it would for Windows? Plenty of people use the program. Sure you can use Wine, but that already requires a decent amount of knowledge that a lot of the population doesn't have, nor does it want to know. A lot of components people possess require Windows, and although it's possible to find drivers that may allow Linux to accommodate them, the lay-person would rather just use Microsoft instead of hassling themselves with all that extra work.


This is meant for a netbook, though. Everything you need comes with it. No installing or configuring needed. Also installing stuff on most linux distos is quite easy these days. You can open up a "program manager" and with the click of a button have it download, install and congiure a specific program. Not hard, but most people see it slightly diffrent to windows and say it is.
