A report by NPD analysts DisplaySearch predicts that in the coming year
netbook sales will grow by 65 per cent, compared to growth in notebook

Note how the analysts report finds that customers are looking for low
initial purchase costs.

Low prices are unobtainable for any period with products including OSes made
