My point is that some people are scared of Linux. Nokia managed to produce a non-Linux version of Linux. With OS2008, it sounds like they've moved even further away from traditional Linux desktops.

I still find it surprising and not entirely accurate when I read that the N tablets run a "distro of Linux". Technically this is true, but it's not practically true. I guess we're back to the age-old debate about whether the operating system should be called Linux, or just the kernel. I've always believed the latter is the case but went with the former simply because everybody else did

Incidentally, look how small the Eee is in Rupert Goodwins' hands. He's a big fella (I used to work with him) but that's definitely a small computer.
