Re: Microsoft will hijack Steam Boxes just like they hijacked netbooks

This is what happened with the Netbook where Linux was killed off by Microsoft offering Windows 7 virtually for free on Netbooks.

Are you serious? You think linux flopped on netbooks because of Windows 7?

First of all, cast your mind back. XP Home was installed on netbooks long before Windows 7 Starter existed.

Secondly, anybody who ever used that godawful linux distro Asus installed on the original Eee PC will know better than to blame Windows.

You linux fanboys are hilarious - you think every obstacle in the way of linux is somebody else's fault. It doesn't say much for the quality of the OS when it couldn't compete with XP Home...
