Both Google and Linux have been doing all it can to try and take the market share away from Microsoft, but Windows is just too popular, and the upcoming launch of Windows 7 is not good news for Linux or Android and their idea of having a desktop success.
Windows Vista was not the greatest operating system, I still prefer XP, but Windows 7 is shaping up to be everything that Vista was not. You would have thought that a netbook running on Linux would have been more popular as it demands less of the hardware, but Microsoft was very clever with its pricing.
PC Magazine informs us that Microsoft only makes $15 per license on netbooks running Windows XP, that is not much profit, but it does guarantee one thing, Microsoft is using its deep pockets to win over users.

Windows users are more often than not, too stupid and/or too lazy to learn a new OS. It isn't a failure of Linux. If people are stupid enough want to fork over their hard-earned money for a completely unstable OS such as the ones produced by MS, then let them. I tried Win7, it is just another prettier incarnation of the famously over-rated and over bloated VISTA.
