That has been Microsoft's strategy all along. By effectively pushing the specs up into notebook range they can do away with the netbooks as a separate niche. Of course, all the ARM and MIPS systems with low power consumption, long battery life, low prices, and no Windows are the big threat now. They also return to the original EeePC form factor. |

They had their UMPC's, MS. But they failed; no keyboard; and probably too small for a netbook; too big and clumsy for a phone. I'm still surprised this whole thing was started by a project today thought of as 'failure'; OLPC. |
