Microsoft’s long-awaited Windows 7 beta 1 “7000” build ISO torrent is finally available for the world to download, but not officially and clearly not from Microsoft.

ASUS created the whole netbook market single-handedly with the ASUS Eee Linux PC. The diminutive portable sold in numbers far beyond expectations catching both ASUS and its competitors by surprise. Fast forward to today and Microsoft have gained the upper hand. In this instance the customer isn't right and by rejecting Linux end users are missing the best experience they could have.

An article has come out claiming (yet again) that 2009 will be the year of Linux, and bases this prediction on the fact that low power ARM processors will be in netbooks which won’t have enough power to run Windows, but then says these new netbooks will be geared to “web only” applications which suits Linux perfectly. And, oh yeah, Palm might save Linux, too.

Unfortunately for the Linux crowd, however, Asus, Acer and other hardware makers realised they could sell many more netbooks if they did deals with those nasty folks in Redmond.
