Linpus GM: Linux Netbooks to Hit 50 Percent Market Share This Year

Earlier this month, The Taipei Times' Elizabeth Tchii reported that Linpus Technologies general manager Stephen Lim "expects Linux-based netbooks to reach 50 percent market share by next year, on a par with Microsoft Inc.'s Windows platform."


"As competition in the netbook space heats up, vendors are looking for ways to slash the cost of making netbooks even further, and Linux offers gleaming promise in this regard... While it's difficult to imagine Linux adding 40 points to its current netbook market share of 10 percent within a year, Lim's prediction shows that Linux providers have only just begun to fight," writes ChannelWeb's Kevin McLaughlin.
