And that's exactly what they're doing.

Maemo is going upstream to a phone, they have phones that run Symbian or Maemo and they have a netbook that run Windows. Who knows what the future will offer.

And Maemo on a netbook - search. I swear that Android on a netbook here was ridiculed or scoff at in the least. It will more than likely be met with the same resistance on a netbook. I know that I would not buy a Maemo netbook because it wouldn't have the apps I need for office work. Not yet.

Anyway, the disappointment that this netbook doesn't have Linux on it, I understand that's the OS of choice for plenty. I run it too.

But for something like this, I see the Windows users buying it first. Down the line, who knows... Linux might be an option... Moblin 3 perhaps? Who knows...
