OEMs are gaining more experience with integrating Linux with their hardware and they'll use this as leverage.
But users aren't gaining experience in using Linux nearly as fast as OEMs are at making machines with Linux running.
- sadiq 18y agoWhat I mean by 'integrating Linux' is providing hardware and platforms that are very well integrated and provide a bit more of a lightweight interface. Have a look at the stuff HP have done with MIE atop Ubuntu providing a slick and easy UI for netbook stuff. Some of the work Intel's doing on Moblin too. Two second boot times are insane. Of course, there's also a danger we'll have a raft of dozens of half-baked 'easy' UIs running atop of OEMs custom distributions.
