    Asus tried it already and it failed.

    Yeah, they "failed" by becoming the biggest manufacturer of netbooks and causing lots of other companies to follow suit in shipping Linux.

    If Nokia had entered what is gearing up to be a very aggressive market with a linux based netbook, I would have expect the BOD to fire the CEO right away!

    That must be why Linux is kicking Microsoft's ass in the mobile space.

    If it's not too expensive, I will be buying one myself and no..I wont be installing Linux.

    I wouldn't expect anything different from a Microsoft corporate drone like you.
