HP Android, low cost netbooks incoming

For several months HP is considering to market netbooks running Google Android. The 'Google OS would be to replace the standard Windows devices utlraportatili. The main advantage is in lowering the cost of these devices: it works with Android ARM processors, a family of CPU that have lower performance than Intel's Atom, but also lower prices and lower power consumption, this also means greater autonomy for the batteries.
However it will not be easy to convince consumers to abandon Microsoft systems, now that Windows is an established standard in the computing world. The biggest drawback is that with Android, most applications do not work. In addition, the operating system is not able to take full advantage of Intel processors, this means that you will ensure a range of low-cost netbooks, but this will be very limited in performance. That's why HP engineers are evaluating the potential of this operating system, and spokesmen have not yet decided on this. However it is thought that the price of these netbooks should be below 200 €. To affect the price, even the absence of the cost of Microsoft licensing.
While there are some basic applications provided by Google that approach those of the Office, the real strength of Android is the fact that a version of Linux, and as such, to be open source: that of providing users the ability to access the code and make changes. This possibility makes easier the work of designers in adapting the OS is the architecture of the devices, which does not happen with Microsoft products. Given all these considerations, it is easy to think that the challenge for Microsoft will be increasingly tight, and the company's monopoly on operating systems will be seriously questioned.
