Is it that people are bulldozed into XP. For example a friend of mine went into a UK shop where there were 2 WebBooks on offer: a Linux machine at £199, and an XP one at £299. The salesman asked if my friend used Microsoft Messenger, he replied yes. The salesman then explained that he would not be able to use Microsoft Messenger on the Linux machine. He then went on to say that it was just not compatible, and then stated that my friend would be unable to Message on the Linux machine. No mention of using Pidgin which was already loaded on the Linux machine. “But Microsoft remains confident that users will still prefer to buy Windows-powered notebooks despite the affordability of an Android-based netbook.”
