Eventually they'll have to like remove it. Its going to be abused , you know why - someone will say they are poor just to get it. Typical Malaysians , just because of the free netbook which they are offering

Reminds me of the ability of withdrawing EPF funds to buy a personal computer several years ago (anyone remembers that) and plus it was abused to the maximum . people weren't buying computers , they fake it up and get the money and use it for something else ! I bet its going to be the same for this new package

The reason why the student package could not be abused is that you'll genuinely have to be a student , and you need to have a student card and such and approved by the university.

I need to get details of the 1Malaysia netbook. It could be running linux , I mean ubuntu

Well its hackintosh able , provided if it comes with N2xx series with Intel Graphics 945M series
