Netbooks will not bring Linux to the masses to the extent and in the way that many are expecting. Linux vendors need to focus on the netbook as a sub-$200 appliance rather than an alternative to Windows netbooks and laptops.
Google's Android, rather than a generic Linux distribution like Ubuntu, is likely to emerge as the main platform for this new type of device.
The upwards view of netbooks starts with netbooks and looks up to laptops. It leads to two conclusions. First, the laptop market is becoming increasingly complex, with market segments catered for by a growing variety of low-cost netbooks and laptops. Second, after a strong start, Linux netbooks have now been overtaken by Windows netbooks and Linux is lagging increasingly behind in terms of sales, although Linux's performance in the netbook segment is still outstanding compared to its overall performance in the desktop market.
