We’ve heard that HP will probably offer a stripped down version of Windows 7 on their future laptops well now it appears that Samsung is joining the same game and offering Windows 7 on their future laptops but this apparently depends on just how much royalties Microsoft will be asking.

Kyu Uhm, Samsung’s Head of Worldwide Sales and marketing for the computing division, has apparently stated Samsung would like to include higher end versions of Windows 7 on their future range of netbooks.

White Patrick Pavel, Sammy’s European Product Manager apparently thinks the launch of Windows 7 would probably signal the end of Linux as an option on Samsung netbooks.
