Looks like Microsoft have changed the specs of Windows 7 for Netbooks 
slightly to remove the 3 application limit.  Although from what I 
understand you still don't get any of the eye-candy from Windows 7 and 
no Windows Media Centre (although I can't see this being a major problem 
for many people).

I'm looking forward to these.  I keep reading stories about the ARM 
netbooks running the Google Android OS, I just hope that they're not 
going to be locked down so we can choose what ARM Linux distro we use 
(be it UNR, Debian etc).
