It seems that after Intel, just about every chip maker wants a piece of the netbook pie. AMD is an obvious competitor, but VIA is also eyeing the little notebooks. However, more exotic options like the Chinese Loongson chips and ARM's Cortex A-8 and A-9 chips are also among the contenders. We can now add a new contender: Freescale.

remember windows NT was ported to PPC and MIPS (among others)
Microsoft could port xp to ARM tomorrow but I doubt any of the 3rd party devs would rewrite the parts of their software to support it
The same thing would kill XP(ARM edition) as did the NT system on different archs... no apps
