Best Netbook Operating System: Windows 7 [Hive Five Followup]: "

Earlier last week we asked you to share your favorite netbook operating system, then we rounded up the five most popular candidates for a vote. Now we're back to highlight the winner and runners up.

At the front with a nearly 10% lead was Windows 7, the newest offering in the Hive, with 36% of the vote. Ubuntu took second place with 27% of the vote, followed by a near tie between OS X and Jolicloud—12% of the vote each, with a 58 vote margin pushing OS X slightly ahead. Pulling up the back of the popular crowd was Linux Mint and its 8% share of the vote.
