Windows7 will take the netbook industry by storm. Linux and green screen technologies in general do not belong anywhere near a consumer eXPerience. One of our finance guys was remarking how he bought a Dell Mini with Ubuntu on it and how he "kind of liked it". After hearing of this from one of my MCSE spies, I called the finance officer in and read him our policy around using Linux. When he commented this was a netbook for home use, I ordered my MCSEs to block his email account and VPN access. Realizing he was wrong and embarrassed, he submitted his resignation. A CIO's power is unquestionable and all-encompassing.
