Hardware, Embedded Systems Chip company ARM is prepping to make its move into the netbook market, and now it has shown off a few prototype designs that really show off the benefits of using the ARM platform: thanks to passive cooling, no fans are required, enabling ARM netbooks to be much thinner and lighter than their Intel counterparts. Thanks to ZDNet, we have a nice video overview of these ARM netbooks - as well as a few very tiny ARM desktop machines.

True, as this is one platform Microsoft won't be able to dominate simply by giving away XP.

instead they can use WinCE. MS has been developing for teh ARM architecture for years, and WinCE 7 is going to be poised for netbooks as well as phones (and embeded stuff, but thats not important right now).
