In some countires like Spain, it is perfectly legal, as long as there is no economical gain by either side. There are two main giants that don't like it: the media giants and the internet providers. But it's legal. Tough. Introducing laws to change it would be stepping on so many toes (laws and rights in EU countries) that it is a conceptual nightmare.
Down to the point. After I bought my EEE 900 I endured a whole half a day before I shrieked in desperation and installed ubuntu on it.
Now that's me. Any other person with average computer skills probably would have found the Xandros tab system quite comfortable and easy to work for their e-mails and surfing. They probably would have freaked out and grabbed their seat when discovering the "voice command" option while shouting nervously: "Honey... Honey, come look what my netbook can do!".
Anyway, the thing is, I believe that anyone buying a netbook with linux that has no previous linux experience, is either going to return it during the first week or give it as a gift to "that computer nerd cousin that does my taxes".
On the other hand, anyone complementing their linux desktop with a netbook running linux, will find the same experience, good and bad counted.

Thank you ever so much! I really needed this pick-me-up!
Hey remember that e-mail that floated around saying that websites could take your picture through your keyboard/screen?
Ahh. Bliss.
This is an attempt to control P2P networks.

That doesn't stop them from trying.
Let them.
Forgive me for the title but I just had to.

As in any OS.
