Before we know it, the mini notebooks may become a trend, the next biggest thing. Aren't we glad that we have OpenSolaris 2008.05 so that we at least won't be an MIA? Timing couldn't have been better. :-)

BTW, regardless of what operating systems these mini notebooks are using, ALL of them are pre-installed with either OpenOffice.org or StarOffice. Really really wish that at least Sun's marketing and sales top brasses will come out with some creative ideas, as we are talking about at least 10 to 20 million new OO/SO users per year. And these numbers are cumulative.
