Even with Microsoft virtually giving away XP, so as to stop people trying, and liking Linux, Linux is still accounting for a third of netbooks. Does not seem like a wipe out to me.

“Windows XP has succeeded in wiping out Linux from the netbook space little by little” Oh really? Mr Ballmer get your facts straight.

If you look at the numbers you’ll see that linux use on personal PCs exploded with netbooks (linux has been strong on servers for a very long time).

If you want to talk about wiping out, it’s more fair to say that netbooks wiped out Vista. XP was brought back from the dead to keep Microsoft in the game and seven rushed out to cover for Vista’s failure.

And now Microsoft probably has to face Android too.
