Pine Trail is x86.
Tegra goes in phones and smart books.
Pine Trail goes in netbooks.

You can't run normal windows off of an ARM processor. You'd have to be running Windows CE.]]>Dec 21st 2009 10:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/hp-mini-210-spied-with-pinetrail-cpu-found-cavorting-on-retail/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/hp-mini-210-spied-with-pinetrail-cpu-found-cavorting-on-retail/Linux]]>Dec 21st 2009 10:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/hp-mini-210-spied-with-pinetrail-cpu-found-cavorting-on-retail/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/hp-mini-210-spied-with-pinetrail-cpu-found-cavorting-on-retail/Maybe I'm missing something, but chances are someone with a Windows logo as their avatar isn't going to be running linux on their netbook.]]>Dec 21st 2009 10:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/hp-mini-210-spied-with-pinetrail-cpu-found-cavorting-on-retail/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/hp-mini-210-spied-with-pinetrail-cpu-found-cavorting-on-retail/Dec 22nd 2009 12:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/hp-mini-210-spied-with-pinetrail-cpu-found-cavorting-on-retail/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/hp-mini-210-spied-with-pinetrail-cpu-found-cavorting-on-retail/Dec 22nd 2009 2:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/hp-mini-210-spied-with-pinetrail-cpu-found-cavorting-on-retail/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/hp-mini-210-spied-with-pinetrail-cpu-found-cavorting-on-retail/Haha!

"Starter Features
Microsoft removed the 3 application limit that initially made it look like Starter Edition was more of a crippled product and it now has the typical Paint, Notepad, Calculator, Windows Fax and Scan, WordPad, Windows Firewall, Windows Search, and Windows Backup.

It includes the basic game package of FreeCell, Hearts, Minesweeper, Purple Palace, Solitaire, and Spider Solitaire. It has the updated components of XPS View, User Account Control (which is much less alloying in all versions of Windows), Parental Controls, Windows ReadyDrive, and IE8.

This is just the basics, no Aero interface (but then XP doesn’t have that either), and things like a media player and DVD burner you’ll have to download from the web or buy (which most seem to do anyway). Starter is just a clean basic OS and, if you want more, for a marginal charge you can upgrade it in place to Windows 7 premium and get all those features you didn’t know you were going to miss back."

Windows 7 Starter also features lack of standard features such as changing wallpapers and themes, which has been a standard feature of xp and every other OS!]]>Dec 21st 2009 10:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/hp-mini-210-spied-with-pinetrail-cpu-found-cavorting-on-retail/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/hp-mini-210-spied-with-pinetrail-cpu-found-cavorting-on-retail/
Wallpaper... with a screen so small you'll probably be running your programs maximized.

Themes... yeah XP had themes.... but how many people switched to the simple "Windows Classic" theme? Or left it "Fisher Price" blue?

I'm sure Microsoft did this to try to sell people on upgrading to Windows 7 Home... I can almost hear the Geek Squad sales pitch now.

But in all honesty... it's a netbook. Who cares. Wipe off W7 Starter and install your pirated copy of XP if that makes you feel better.]]>Dec 21st 2009 11:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/hp-mini-210-spied-with-pinetrail-cpu-found-cavorting-on-retail/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/hp-mini-210-spied-with-pinetrail-cpu-found-cavorting-on-retail/

You can use more than 3 apps now.

You'd want VLC or some other media player anyway...]]>Dec 21st 2009 9:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/hp-mini-210-spied-with-pinetrail-cpu-found-cavorting-on-retail/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/hp-mini-210-spied-with-pinetrail-cpu-found-cavorting-on-retail/3 App limit never made it to market.
There's some nonsense about not being able to change the desktop background, but the OS pretty much functions as normal. It's an easy way for OEMs to keep costs down, just like using XP used to be. Expect the trend to keep up.]]>Dec 21st 2009 10:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/hp-mini-210-spied-with-pinetrail-cpu-found-cavorting-on-retail/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/hp-mini-210-spied-with-pinetrail-cpu-found-cavorting-on-retail/Dec 21st 2009 9:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/hp-mini-210-spied-with-pinetrail-cpu-found-cavorting-on-retail/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/hp-mini-210-spied-with-pinetrail-cpu-found-cavorting-on-retail/
