XP Home Lives, and so does Linux, on UMPCs

  2008-04-04 12:30:02
When I thought Microsoft was going to extend XP's lifetime to better slug it out with Linux on Ultra Mobile PCs and Mobile Internet Devices, I was afraid Linux was going to have to fight hard for the low-end of the desktop. Now that we know that only XP Home is going to have a longer life and Microsoft is going to have to contort itself over what systems can and what systems can't get it, I'm much happier. XP Pro was much more troublesome in my mind.
