Actually I consider this a wonderful development; use of cost
effective ARM processor for netbook applications, breaking the
Intel/Microsoft mould.
There needs to be more competition in the market place with other
processors and operating systems. If they can drop the prices to
below $200 US (70 GBP), I believe they will have a winner.
People want value, stability, a useful appliance. Linux coupled
with cost effective hardware can provide that.
