Apple Building their Netbooks Department

Apple is known as the fire starter of technology products but given the power of netbooks, the company might rethink their strategy and join the bandwagon instead.

They have recently hired Ivan Krsctic who was once a security director at the One Laptop per Child project. The company has announced that they want to improve the security of their operating system.

I think that’s bull, they have just released their latest OSX and Ivan doesn’t have the credentials for security improvements for laptops or desktop PCs. The security in place for OLPC is different from that of conventional computers and my take is that Apple is putting their foot in the door on the netbooks market by getting people from this industry to start brainstorming and conceptualizing their next move.

Microsoft has already recognized the explosion of the netbooks market along with the rest of the vendors and look into Apple joining this market.
