I know eh -it's really funny watching the gab between the original "laptop" at 14" and the first "netbook" at 7" grow smaller.

As far as I am concerned an 11.6" machine is still a netbook as long as it uses low cost parts and can be sold for under $400. Once you add things like a DVD drive and a core2duo into a 12" machine, it becomes $799 and is no longer a netbook.

I put Windows 7 on the Gateway today, it runs super smooth. So far I'm still happy with the purchase, especially since I managed to dump Vista Basic.
