Please do not mod parent as informative! Apple's margin are roughly 5% lower than Microsoft and this is for the earning reported for last quarter. See for yourself
http://www.google.com/finance?q=aapl (Net profit margin = 22.77%)
http://www.google.com/finance?q=MSFT (Net profit margin = 27.62%)
Sure, Apple does turn in billions of dollars of cash profit each quarter ($3074MM) but Microsoft rakes in even higher profit ($4006MM). Both are publicly traded companies so data is there for everyone to see. Please don't be taken in with sweeping generalities.

The Economist Suggests Linux For Netbooks 445
Trepidity writes "In its roundup of how to choose a netbook, The Economist suggests that users 'avoid the temptation' to go for a Windows-based netbook, and in particular to treat them as mini laptops on which you'll install a range of apps. In their view, by the time you add the specs needed to run Windows and Windows apps effectively, you might as well have just bought a smallish laptop. Instead, they suggest the sweet spot is ultra-lite, Linux-based netbooks, with a focus on pre-installed software that caters to common tasks. They particularly like OpenOffice, which they rate as easier to use than MS Word and having 'no compatibility problems,' as well as various photo-management software." Besides which, does Windows offer spinning cubes for coffee-shop demos?

This would be restricted by number of unique genetic-sample they can find. If they have 10 samples then generating 100 mammoth will not result in any more genetic diversity than 10.
Unless they find some artificial way of introducing diversity in the sample themselves.
