Ubuntu to battle Windows 7 on netbooks
 

Microsoft Windows 7 has only been available a few days, but competitors are already calling out the new OS. Canonical, the publisher of the popular Ubuntu Linux OS, said it is ready to compete in “real head-to-head competition” with Windows 7.

Mark Shuttleworth, Canonical CEO and founder, praised Windows 7 during a recent conference call with reporters, saying the new OS is “a substantial improvement on the past. Even on netbooks, it’s a credible release.”
