Hardware, Embedded Systems In what is about as surprising as the sun rising in the morning, Michael Dell has started talking down netbooks. Dell made his comments about netbooks at the Churchill Club in Silicon Valley, and considering the impact of netbooks on manufacturers' bottom lines, it's really not that surprising.

Even if I don't own one, I directly benefit from their existence. Without netbooks, it is likely that Windows 7 would've been even slower than Vista, instead of the other way around. I hope more apps (*cough* Adobe Reader *cough*) follow in Win7's footsteps and trim down the fat.
