    I think the price point was set to be around $199.99 with a contract (give or take)
  4. Do you think the OS could be downloaded and installed on the netbook I already have?

    Drivers would probably be an issue...
  5. Being that it's going to be 100% demanded by consumers to have flash for their shiny new netbook... well...
