Microsoft, Intel, etc. fear that the next hundred million computers sold won't run Windows and won't be Pentium 4 SUV-gas guzzlers but economical, efficient vehicles that transport adults and children alike on the information superhighway (did I really just say information superhighway?)
Anyone have an Eeeeee PC? They sound really interesting. They put to the test the idea all you need is a constant connection to the web to do all of your work today. I generally develop with telnet + Emacs over XWindows, anyways.
My friend got one the other day. He seems to be pretty happy with it - if I wasn't strapped for cash right now, and, let's face it, if I actually spent a significant amount of time on the go, I'd definitely go for it.
Rumour has it they'll release a model with a larger screen (but identical chassis size) soon.
