Nvidia just spoke on netbook operating systems for ARM based systems and they like … Windows CE. They prefer it because it better suited to a netbook than ..Android.
Repeat after me 100 times. A netbook is not a mobile phone. A netbook is not a mobile phone. A netbook is not a mobile phone. A netbook is not a mobile phone.
Do these guys know nothing about computers and what they are used for. Do they really think that the only use for these gadgets will only be used for browsing. Because that is pretty much all these toy operating systems are capable of.
I dunno – I dispair. Maybe depressingly they are right.
Just because the first unix-based netbooks were a bit of a snafu it doesn’t mean that they should be written off. Unix is the natural operating system for an ARM netbook. No question. If it goes the other way I will stick my head in a bucket.
