- eli 18y agoThat's a licensing requirement from Microsoft to avoid the "XP Tax." It's not the case if you get Linux and, anyway, is not a technical requirement.
- minsight 18y agoNobody said it was a technical requirement. Just that they were "limited". The net result is that netbook manufacturers are selling machines that don't live up to the capabilities of the hardware or the OSes. There are ways around them, and recompiling linux kernels and installing Mac OS are just two of them.
