Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
My friend is a self-confessed unsophisticated tech junkie
but when it comes to computers all he knows is Windows. He believes
Windows is better because that's what he's familiar with. He can also
run iTunes on Windows (he's also a music junkie) and Skype is more
advanced on Windows. He can even run IE7 and Outlook Express (heaven
knows why he would want to).
In a nutshell, multiply my unsophisticated
consumer friend by hundreds of millions and you've got a ready made
market for a Windows XP version of the Eee PC, complete with its
bloatware, susceptibility to viruses, system slow-downs and freezes
while the security software does its regular scans and its inflated
price. Like it or not, it's the way things are.
Meanwhile, does this portend the demise of the Linux Eee PC? Absolutely
not! They're still flying off store shelves in volumes that no other
Linux consumer computer has in history. For the first time ever, I can
go down to a local major electronics and office products chain store
and buy a Linux Eee PC off the shelf. The market for consumer Linux
computers has been established. Chances are Asus will keep it that way.
