What a crock of …. change the licensing so that it is irrespective of the hardware and sell it based on the edition the user buys i.e. the more features (higher the edition) the more the cost

Stop this foolishness where you do that AND you then charge them more based on the hardware they purchased !! It's just plain wrong to do that especially when it is typically a single user system (not a server).

I truly believe that there is a group of powerful corporates out there (incl MS and Intel) that don't want the ATOM/Netbook thing to succeed as it is shaving their profit margins to an uncomfortable level.

Look at Intel, they recently announced they hadn't yet ratified all versions of Windows 7 on Netbooks except for the basic edition.

I fear for the future of netbooks because I have seen the greed creep in and with it the prices are going up and up. They are now selling Netbooks at the $800+ range which brings them perilously close to the low end laptops. God I hate this corporate greed.

I have a AU$600 Samung NC10 and when I purchased that it was considered expensive. However it still was cheap enough but powerful enough to mean I could do away with my Toshiba Brick.

Nowadays it is getting harder to say that when it comes to price
