Oh please, you must really update your rhetoric
GuidingLight 17th Mar 2009
even a price break on the server end, and netbook end may not be enough to stop market share losses. MS does not have a suitable OS for Arm based netbooks, and for virtualized environments, the licensing nightmare is just too much, and Linux is just too good

Now, for the line: Although the survey and white paper were sponsored by Novell

Now, based on your past arguments, when it was a Microsoft sponsered white paper, why should Novell, a company with an investment in Linux, be believed, if you claim that Microsoft based studies are to be ignored?

Oh, and the ARM statement was setteled some time ago: Windows will spur the growth of Atom based notebooks, not Linux will spur the groth of ARM based netbooks.
