Fairly good article of a general nature. Pointing out how far Linux has come if it is preinstalled on a machine sold at Walmart is the best point.
gOs is now available for download as an ISO. Its taken the Internet by storm, considering its an Ubuntu fork with a E17 desktop environment instead of the usual KDE or Gnome desktops. Its Mac-inspired. Now there's ASUS's eee PC, which is a fork of Xandros. Another hot seller. Linux can make it in the mainstream market as a pre-installed operating system. People won't miss Windows at that price point.
