It is an indisputable fact that the mini laptop, Netbook, will become a new and popular trend in the computer industry in time to come. It is therefore unlikely that Microsoft will not tap into this potential cash cow or let it go solely to its competitor, Linux. That is the reason why the Redmond company is willing to offer Netbook manufacturers the right to purchase its Windows XP license at a much lower price and allows it to be preinstalled. Microsoft does not offer its Windows Vista to manufacturers because the mini laptop which features a low-powered processor, smaller screen and other lower specs is not suitable to run a more heavyweight Windows Vista OS.
