The odds of me buying a Netbook are just about 0. I was looking to slim down my briefcase, so I got a MacBook to replace my Dell D820 Latitude. I think it's just a personal thing, but the idea of less than a 100% sized keyboard is a deal breaker for me.
To me, the worst thing Apple could do would be to put out a cheap-o Netbook that cannibalizes their MacBook offering.
