Netbook with a large screen and powerful graphics ...
... is called a notebook, I think wink

"Meanwhile, Microsoft and Intel seem to be doing their best to keep netbooks in their place."

The usual anti-trust, monopolistic, consumer-value-defeating, excuse-for-a-computer tactics. And you seem to be quite happy just to let it pass with a mild comment instead of railing against it.

Could be worse, some ZDNET bloggers actually WANT Windows 7 Starter on a netbook. Crippled OS on a crippled, small computer ... hey, knock yourself out!

Others WANT OSX on a netbook. Knock yourself out whilst breaking the EULA!

" ... Intel was selling Atom a la carte for $45, but offering OEMs both the processor and chipset for only $25."
Good job for Otellini I am not Kroes, or I would levy a fine that would shake his company to the core (to the CORE, get it?).

"What seems certain is that both Intel and Microsoft prefer to draw a clearer line between notebook and netbook based in part on screen size."
Despite all your pussyfooting about at least you manage to note the damaging effects of the WINTEL cartel.

Yours,
conspiracy party member.
