Microsoft Windows’ hegemony in the netbook market is currently unimpeachable. Contrary to conjectures and forecasts, Linux has failed to take control of the netbook market, a segment tailor-made for it. But can an entirely new Linux distro reverse the trend?
Taiwanese company Asustek is said to be developing a special version of Google’s free Android OS for its netbooks. According to Samsun Hu, head of Asus’ Eee PC division, the company has dispatched a team of engineers to the task.
The company intends to have an Android-based netbook ready by the end of 2009. However, a commercial version is still not a certainty.
