I do not know about this Bill, however he starts his article with «A well-known Linux analyst has published a blog saying that Linux is failing in the once-promising netbook market.», which is an EPIC FAIL by itself. Let's examine this first sentence, 1. The information does not come from the analyst's blog (it's a result of interview/contact). 2. The analyst did not say that 'Linux is failing in the once-promising netbook market' (the analyst make a prediction) 3. That 'analyst' is not a 'Linux' analyst. In http://tech.blorge.com/Structure:%20/2009/04/21/lenovo-analyst-linux-on-netbooks-is-doomed/ we see that the said analyst has very low grasp of what open-source and Linux is about. 4. The analyst is actually only now 'well-known' in the open-source community because of the blorge.com articles that expose him as an uninformed person.
