Apple Netbook
Leopard booting netbooks already exist. One example
would be the MSI Wind. It runs the existing version of Mac
OS 10.5.5 without a problem and does it very well. Boot
times run about 25 sec and wake and sleep are almost
instantaneous. Everything works just as you'd expect a Mac
to work and there's a very active community supporting
the device. Then there's Sanyo, Toshiba, Asus, Acer, Dell,
HP, Gigabyte, Epson, etc, etc. And most of their netbooks
also can support the Mac OS with a little, very little,
fiddling. Apple and Google may have missed the boat on
this one.
