There's a bunch of functionality that's just skin and bones; no meat yet. But I do like what I see. Maybe I'll shoot a short walkthough video...

It will be simply the low end hardware for the same screen size. Windows 7 will not loose its grip over that market. With MIDs I would bet on Android. And with smartphones we will just keep the mess that we have today. Maybe MIDs with cell capabilities will take over eventually. Killing most current players. As for Moblin, I really still fail to see how it win over anything beyond MID territory and fight over it with Android and Win7. my thoughts are that for netbook you will have just win7. more and more manufacturers are taking the netbooks into the 11″-12″ realm and eventually a 12″ netbook will just meet the 12″ notebook.

I've updated the post to reflect that Moblin uses a Mozilla browser. Hi Nick, thanks for pointing out my inadvertent mistake on the browser info.
