Don’t know what is more interesting about this story, the netbook booting into Android or it still using XP.I was under the impression that that Win 7 was able to be run on most netbooks.This could be bad news for MS with at least one manufacturer releasing a new unit running XP a week before the Win 7 release. I would think this unit would only appeal to techies as most users have no idea what Android is. So why use XP?
