Moblin as the default OS
People need to watch the Moblin 2.0 video. It looks awesome! The YouTube link is:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsCpIeLLoT8

Perhaps Moblin should become the default OS installation on ALL netbooks/tablets.
1. It boots in 7 seconds (sorry Splashtop).
2. It provides a slick, touch-friendly UI, suitable for small displays & tablets.
3. There are plans to incorporate the Android framework, so Android apps will run on it.
4. Windows could be offered, as an option, for those wanting to run Windows apps. Virtualization would allow Windows apps to be launched from within Moblin.
5. ... (there are tons of other reasons!)

I think the possible marriage of Android & Moblin is REALLY exciting! It would be cool, to be able to run Android apps on the Moblin desktop.
