The first netbook preinstalled with Moblin v2 for Netbooks will launch next week, possibly at Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco, or else the Linux Foundation's LinuxCon in Portland. Then, within the next couple of weeks, the Moblin Project will release the first stable release of the Moblin v2 Linux distribution, which began beta testing in May. Will Linux prove a viable alternative to Windows 7 on the low-powered, low-cost computing devices released for this holiday season? We should know pretty soon.

I like Moblin's concept, but... I don't like the fact that it doesn't support the original (non-atom) series of netbooks.
This sucks for the early adopters (and no, I'm _not_ going to buy a new netbook just in order to run Moblin; Mint will do)
