Jen-Hsun Huang has some stones.

Huang believes that the current Atom platform (chipset) is creating a user base that cannot capably run a wide selection of applications from AAA developers. “It doesn’t run anything well from Electronic Arts, it doesn’t run anything well from Adobe, it doesn’t run anything well from Microsoft,” he said. “So in a way, the Atom platform is creating an installed base of PCs that’s going to eventually hurt the PC software industry.”If you're using a netbook you ought to be running Linux (www.canonical.com/netbooks) because it runs capably on anything. These machines are not for gaming so the comment on EA software is moot. Besides, with the DRM situation who plays EA games anyway?

Linux does not present the ease of use that people expect for the titles Hsun is discussing. I'm sorry, but that's the reality of it. The return rate on Linux-based Netbooks has been astronomical.

Is it over 9,000?
