Netbooks Cannibalising 20 Percent Of European Notebook Sales says Intel

Our Comments

Microsoft and Intel have are also considering limiting the size of netbook screens to 10.2-inch for Windows 7 Starter. Many new netbooks currently carry 12-inch or larger screens and it is likely that the two computer giants want to protect their established userbase and their profit margins as well. Products with screens larger than 10.2-inch will be slapped with a higher Windows 7 licensing rate.
