HP shuns Linux for UK netbooks
On the hunt for a new Netbook? Well, if you have a Linux-based, you can forget that with HP’s latest range.
The company against the release of all the Linux machines in the United Kingdom, rather than for Windows. Indeed, the Mini 1000, announced at the rear end of the year 2008, is only to be released, as the Vivienne Tam Edition flowers – nice if you have a spare bag, not good if you are male and want to prevent that the center of Office gossip.There is the way to more subdued Compaq Mini 700, but even this only in the Windows flavor. If you want Linux, you’re looking at 2133 Mini-Note, but as this is almost a year old, you can elsewhere.
The reason for this anti-Linux stance? Well, it seems that the manufacturers believe the consumer caution from one operating system, which is not as popular as Windows, so the statement that the HP Compaq 700 and HP Mini 1000 Vivienne Tam Edition better on the market and the needs the consumer. Someone must say that HP, the best seller of the lot, the Acer Aspire One is a Linux machine.
