    When this is aimed squarely at the mobile tech midpoint between netbook and mobile phone, this is indeed a very big thing.

    Whatever becomes that standard, becomes The Standard for the next 10 years.

    I think it's kind of fair to single MS out here - Linux doesn't have brand leader focusing on mobile, Apple competes on its own terms, apparently uninterested in licensing its OS to other platforms, so is irrelevant. It's only MS that's made a point of attempting to interject itself into this sphere, far from its own, at the cost of great, open adoption.

    I mean - XP is the choice of platform for netbooks? Windows mobile for handhelds? c'mon.
