Will Windows 7 be the end for Linux on netbooks?


A Product Manager for Samsung recently stated that after Windows 7 is released that "it was now unlikely the company would make a Linux netbook".

I like Windows 7 A LOT. I have been beta testing it since January. I am not sure that when the final release comes that it will be as snappy as Linux is on a netbook. Plus, a netbook maker can shave 50-70 dollars off the price of a netbook by using Linux and in this economy every dollar counts.

    Bring on Linux! It has been a long time coming, right? Windows 7, since I've yet to try it, could be fantastic, but Linux is cheaper and my wallet likes that.

    with the current economy cheaper is better but you can't sacrifice quality.

    I hope that Windows 7 lives up to its hype. It could possibly be worth the extra money.
