    The same is true for laptops.

    Gimme a break! If Intel is "shifting focus," I think it has little to nothing to do with the aesthetics and ergonomics of the Netbooks. These are low margin machines for the manufacturers. Now one will pay high prices for them, well, except maybe Apple users. Those manufactures are not in a position make profiitable deals with Intel for the low-tech CPUs. Intel's attitude is probably something like, "So what if we aren't fully engaged in this market? What do we lose?" Hey leave some scraps for VIA.
