Microsoft: We do not want Hybrid Netbooks
According to one recent rumor, Microsoft does not want netbooks with hybrid storage to run Windows XP. Although Microsoft has given any reason why are they enforcing such rules, but the first thing that comes to mind is industry competition. We all know that netbooks with dual storage will have the option to run both Windows XP and other Open-Source OS like Google Android OS.
Fortunately, only one netbook will be affected: MSI Wind U115, which comes with SSD and HDD.
