When the market began to emerge netbooks, manufacturers chose to offer cheap Linux to reduce costs, the ‘leitmotif’ of these teams. However, given the reluctance of consumers began to offer alternatives with XP. However, despite that the market has managed to damage in part to Microsoft, you’re looking for strategies to avoid losing ground in this market.

A port of Android for these computers, cheap netbooks, would be one of the keys to its success hypothetical because, for now, this is a mobile operating system. Android is based on Linux but has been sponsored and funded by Google, which guarantees you a position and supports the industry much better.

“Without a strong support, Linux is just a niche platform. Now, with the help of Google, Android is a much better chance to win Microsoft users,” said Daiwa Securities analyst Calvin Huang, in an interview with ZDNet Asia .

Android would take advantage of Google’s push in combination with the advantages of Linux, including support of manufacturers and low rates. “The payment of import licenses and the manufacturers really do not like the price of Microsoft,” Huang pointed out. The analyst has predicted a boom as long as Android, which could eventually “kill Microsoft” in this field.
