[LinuxUsers] Cool Netbook

[Chris Penn]

>From the website

"We don't really do Windows

While we admire Microsoft’s staying power in the industry, they lost
their innovative edge many years ago. In the mean time, Linux and the
open source community have made tremendous progress to offer an
innovative and user-friendly desktop experience. The Touch Book is
picking up this trend and comes with our own Linux-optimized system.
Over time in 2009, we plan to support other Linux-based alternatives
such as Google Android or interesting projects such as Moblin. As for
Windows, XP cannot work on our platform by design — don't expect a
native Photoshop on the Touch Book. Only Windows CE can make the cut,
and Windows 7 is uncertain for the moment."

I like this group
