Computer manufacturers have figured out how to produce lightweight

March 24, 2011 - PRLog -- 0diggsdiggMeanwhile, software applications that once needed robust hardware to run are now moving to the cloud. The result? An explosion of netbooks, the "sub-compact" car of notebook computers, most of which don't cost too much more than the average smartphone.

When buying a netbook today, you're presented with two options for the OS: Windows XP or Linux. One of those options is less expensive than the other, and that just may be all it takes to get people to choose the Linux machine instead.
Linux Makes Netbooks Even More Affordable

In the rest of the computing world of desktop computers and mainstream notebooks, you're typically choosing between Windows Vista or Mac OS X, but in the world of netbooks, it's Linux or XP. Those two operating systems are perfect for netbooks thanks to their lower CPU and power requirements.

For those pinching pennies (and who isn't these days? ), the Linux netbooks are even more affordable than their XP counterparts, typically falling into the $300-400 range. If you're already doing most of your computing in the cloud - that is, you use webmail, create and edit documents using a service like Google Docs or Zoho, store your photos online at a site like Flickr, and, most importantly, don't need to run a bunch of software programs on your desktop, the Linux computer is now looking more like a viable option than before - and one that saves you a bit of change too.

As any Linux fan will tell you, the beauty of this OS is its stability. These Linux machines don't crash, boot quickly, and are generally known to be all-around reliable computers.

However, there are still a few folks out there who are going to go with the XP option for familiarity's sake. There's comfort in knowing that your peripherals will work and that you could run Windows-only desktop software if you needed to. Although there are tons of open source alternative software programs out there, an average computer user isn't likely to know what those are or how to find them.
