Linux laptops look to phone stores and Web for distribution
Microsoft’s strategy for fighting off Linux laptops, which are Netbooks powered by Ubuntu or Android, seems clear.
Keep them out of retail distribution.
I went by there yesterday on other business, and was able to find two brands of Netbooks on the shelves. None of the units at Fry’s ran Linux.
Fry’s views Netbooks as the low-end of its line of Windows laptops. The low end of its laptop line at the store I visited was priced at $499. Linux? We don’t need no steenkin’ Linux.
This is not the end of the story, however.

data corruption
I have 5 Ubuntu powered machines and one Debian Lenny. All run ext3 and all have never had any data corruption. Whatever ThizLinux is, the answer is simple. Linux is free, use another distro.
