Linux loses more netbook market share

Liliputing reports that netbook market share is coming down. Just check out what they have to say:

A year and a half ago you would have been hard pressed to find a netbook (defined as a 10 inch or small mini-laptop for around $400) that came with Windows XP. The original Asus Eee PC 701, Everex Cloudbook, and other early netbooks all ran Linux. Today, 90% of all mini-laptops sold in the US are running Windows. That’s according to a report from NPD Group that looked at netbook sales in November, December, and January.

Google’s Andriod can’t even make any headway on smart phones, how on earth are they gonna take any share in the laptop market, where Windows totally dominates?
