I think people Linux/BSD/Solaris should concentrate on drivers. Moreover stacks should be improved to accelerate/ease driver development and CUPS needs more love by manufacturers.The Firefox performance is acceptable. If you don't like it use Seamonkey. Much faster.
1. By using a Silicon Motion instead of Nvidia (Software rendering)
2. By upgrading memory to 1GB in order to help developers write software renderers and H264/MPEG4 decoders
3. Drop BluRay
The problem is that I want a 10" netbook with Linux here in Greece, but this f8ck5 here have signed secret contracts. MS puppet shops. This is a sign of a company in problem.
In my case I used Windows/Linux on my nx9010 laptop with Windows 10% of the time. Until a winflash bios update from windows (I was lazy, sorry!!!) destroyed my laptop. Now I dual boot PCBSD/Linux on my main desktop at home with linux 60% of the time. BSD is Linux' worst enemy. If I buy a CoreDuo I would dual boot Linux/Mac. Windows? Never!!! I had a problem with my printer Laserjet1000 and I needed Linux. Now I bough a Brother, I do not need windows. However I need windows for my work. I plan to buy a cheap offer with Sempron 3100+. I will dual boot Solaris Windows possibly and keep on reverse engineering my old printer. I wish those folks at AT&T improve their Plan9 considerably.
I think SGI had overpriced hardware and this was very bad to advertising their products. Doing things in high-end and nothing for consumers (for advertising purposes) is like commiting suicide. Who knows SGI and MIPS if he/she cannot buy at least a low end product carryiung this names? An SGI laptop would cost $20000.

The only hard thing, is the lack of expandability in terms of RAM.

There are already chips from FreeScale and Lemote that can handle the load. I cannot understand them.
