I came across a couple of articles on the Forbes website.
1) Those micro-PCs cost between $250-$499.
2) Wired.com booted one of them with OSX. Apple asked wired.com to remove the article and wired.com complied.
Apple's sales & marketing department must be tearing their hair out.
If Apple comes out with a sub $500 MacNetBook it will steal market share from the more profitable full size MacBooks.
If Apple does not come out with a sub $500 MacNetBook people would just buy Acer, Dell, XO etc instead of more profitable full size MacBooks. Wired.com's removal of how to boot a netbook with OSX would only slow not stop MacAddicts from installing OSX.

5. For a while now, people have been wondering why Apple doesn't enter the so-called micro-PC market, with a super small laptop suitable for surfing the web and emailing and so on.
6. The new version of OS X--Snow Leopard--will not have any new bells and whistles--nothing like time machine or spot light or dashboard, but rather will be a meaner, leaner, slimmer, more efficient version of Leopard. The name even announces this fact!
