Software wise, I am very pleased with Windows 7 and hope it comes pre-installed in future netbooks. I am a fan of how apple ties in the productivity suite with their OS and so I hope somehow Microsoft issue a light version of their Office suite with the OS, preferably free access to their online version that is about to be released. It would be cool to edit docs, add events and check your mail on the go without needing office. I know google docs currently does this well enough, but I'd like to see Microsoft take a stab at cloud computing.
Hardware wise, lift those limitations to include at least 2gb ram and 2.0GHZ cpu atom or ion which ever saves the most battery power.
The screen could be a cool 11 inches with less bezel.
No glossy screen or lid or anything. Fingerprints drives me nuts.
Slimmer design is great. I liked the feel of the Asus seashell and it was lighter than my 1000he. A step in the right direction.
I am also interested in a tablet netbook. Hopefully windows 7 is touch friendly and intuitive. Again make the specs right and the price as well.
Most importantly a netbook should not cost more than $500
Am I asking for too much?
