Dual Booting Trend

Spurred by the use of Linux. It never has really taken off since Windows
dominates the market and wants paid for each install (two copies on dual
boot) and that costs too much for them to be serious contenders for dual
booting. One of the new tablets, (original form copied by ipad) has one
with one copy of Windows and one of Linux, the rest are just dual booting
Linux. From a PCWord article on Yahoo:

"The Dual-Booting Trend

It's not yet certain whether this dual-booting device will make it to market, of course, as Giz-China points out. What is becoming increasingly certain, however, is the growing interest among tablet makers in the free and open source Ubuntu operating system.

In addition to these two latest tablets, we also saw last fall Augen's dual-booting Gentouch Espresso Doppio, which takes a different approach by dual-booting two Linux-based operating systems: Android 2.2 and Ubuntu.

Dual-booting, I believe, is a growing trend for 2011, and will be seen on an increasing number of devices this year."
