It seems that Linux netbook sales are all that's keeping Intel alive at the
moment. They simply can't produce enough Atom CPUs.
When it comes to survival, many companies will make major changes, so
perhaps Intel will drop Windows support as it's not helping their bottom
line much ?
The Intel 'Classmate' is being slayed by Linux netbooks also, so they would
be smart to just drop that clunker.
