Which netbook?

[plot]

every major corp. is still xp across the board. nobody switched to vista, hence why win7 release date was pushed up so far.

win7 is going to make vista into winme part deux

Gonna just agree with this.

Um, I wouldn't say that too loudly. XP still boots faster, shuts down faster, uses less battery in some cases, and uses less disk space on netbooks than Win 7.

Does it say why they chose to compare XP x86 with Vista and 7 x64?

Because they are smart. Win XP 64 sucks monkey goats and is riddled with compatibility issues with software and drivers.

Then why not compare x86 to x86? Makes no sense.

While the netbook remix has an awesome UI, loonix on the desktop is still like masturbating with your other hand.

I do lub OSX, but I learned how to use SUNOS before I had ever heard of linux and it irks me because it is a mess that 'looks' like unix.

Oh yeah.. It's nothing close to a threat to windows right now. But with the progress it has made, it seems like it could be a threat to window some day..

If Microsoft and Apple collectively filed for bankruptcy, or there was a nuclear war on the west coast.

The democracy that is open-source is a strange beast. Open Source is cool until you realize that everyone really CAN make their own OS and software support becomes a real pain in the asss.

True, but once one model has gained mass appeal it creates it own community which support it. Though it's not the same for all open source software, and OS is pretty serious and would harness the most attention.
