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.

The news has spread far and wide that Steve Jobs won’t be giving the Stevenote at Macworld 2009, or attending future Macworlds, with Apple semi-lamely sending in Philip Schiller, the senior VP of worldwide marketing, to shill Apple’s latest and greatest, instead. Still, could the antidote to the bitter pill of the Schiller make way for the ultimate “one more thing” – a last minute appearance by Steven P. Jobs himself?
