Of netbooks, tablets and Linux's revenge by Glyn Moody.

Nice to see Microsoft getting payback for knocking the Linux powered Netbooks out of the market.

Microsoft had their chance, and they blew it. They could have done something really radical, like dusted off Windows CE and give it a new, snazzy UI for devices, opened up the source, and made a bundle off their apps and ecosystem.

Instead they got greedy and thought they could compete directly with Apple, and beat them at their own game of walled gardens and total capture of the ecosystem. While WART was radical, it was radically bad, whereas opening up Windows CE as suggested above may have been perceived as radically cool.

So this is what a free market looks like?

Nice to see one after all these years.
