Currently, NVIDIA is really missing out on the netbook market, which is dominated by all-Intel platform designs. NVIDIA has finally woken up to this reality, and the outspoken cofounder, president, and CEO of NVIDIA, Jen-Hsun Huang, has launched an all-out campaign to promote his company's Ion platform - and he isn't shy of flinging some poo to Intel and netbooks in general.

Not to mention Atom is a fairly capable processor, and it's not as much of a slouch as he would have people believe.
No kidding - the whole "netbooks are underpowered" line just serves as a reminder of how relative computer performance really is. The slowest Atom-based netbook would have looked like a high-end workstation compared to the vast majority of desktop systems that were available 10 years ago.

I really hope this is true. Previously, it was rumored Nvidia was using support for Nano as bargaining chip with Intel. The deal was Nvidia would drop support for Via's Nano, and Intel would decouple Atom CPUs from the chipset.

Atom hurts the semiconductor industry more then the software industry. Intel has been selling lots of Atoms, but the margins are so thin they aren't helping Intel's profits.
Software is fairly elastic, and it will be adapted to the platform people want to run it on. Not to mention Atom is a fairly capable processor, and it's not as much of a slouch as he would have people believe.
