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?

Contrary to some recent reports, senior managers at Acer and other leading vendors have confirmed that Microsoft Windows XP now dominates the emerging sub-notebook market with more than 90% of new sales.

A fresh round of speculation about the possibility of an Apple netbook has been triggered by an analyst's "triangulation."

A couple of months ago Steve Jobs described netbooks as $500 pieces of junk, presumably not worthy of Apple. However, Jobs also kept his options open and promised some interesting ideas if the netbook market ever did take-off - and take-off it has. Will we see those interesting ideas come to fruition in the form of a netMac at Macworld 2009?

For a brief moment in time, between October 2007 and April 2008, thanks to the Asus Eee PC it really did seem as if desktop Linux was finally going to have its moment in the sun.
