Alas.. its not just about marketing - availability is the MAJOR problem- MS can encourage most people in the supply chain to avoid getting involved with Arm/netbooks , or stick W7 on them so they run like dogs and cost 30% more than they should.... It's all about marketing, information, etc, if anything this is a good incentive for us as a linux user group to get together and orgaise how we are going to combat all of this....
Sharpe take the Apple approach - keep them rare for higher margins.MS know if they can make linux/arm netbooks unavailable enough then they might not quite get over the next manufacturing fault line and get even cheaper. We would have to pay over the odds now for something that may become a lot cheaper in a bit
