As it continues to develop and polish Windows 7, Microsoft has made three fatal mistakes that will kill the operating system’s chances for success on Netbooks -- and open the door even wider for Linux. Skeptical? Here's the scoop.

Just experienced a non-Linux moment over at the Asus site.
They are comming out with a new Atom CPU. The specs

Interesting here is than Intel did the same as Microsoft: Limit the abilities of their cheap products which are in fact good enough for lots of people to make sure it doesn't eat market share of their expensive products which nobody needs.
