Well said. I just can't see how anyone shelling out $300-600 and accept it running a dumbed down OS that is only good for browsing and instant messaging. Although netbooks are small and cute, they are still computers and thus people want to run a computer OS on them as opposed to something that is "simple" and will result in a crippled and subdued computer experience. I mean, would anyone want to run android on their desktop? probably not. People use their netbook/netbook for similar tasks they run on their work machines.

"that is only good for browsing and instant messaging. "
Maybe because that's the only reason they bought it? I don't want one of these to compile my code for work.
