Apple Breaks 20 per cent barrier in the US and ten per cent barrier worldwide
Not really. Apple doesn't really compete in the low-end marketplace that is targeted by this.
I'm not surprised by this move at all, as it is basically an admission that Microsoft has no other way to compete on the low-end (what would have been considered to be fairly powerful machines just a few years ago). Vista is a resource-hungry pig that doesn't fit the needs of many people. The ASUS eeePC is targeting a growing marketplace that microsoft has only now realized they can't just abandon to their competitors. Once consumers realize there is a viable alternative to Windows, Microsoft's cash cow will slowly starve.
