Eaton reports, “On a conference table in Building 37 of Microsoft’s Redmond headquarters, sitting in front of Schuster was a little, pink netbook.”
MacDailyNews Take: Gag.
Eaton continues, “So I pointed to Schuster’s netbook and asked about the recent trend. ‘These are definitely getting cannibalized,’ she said. ‘These are really a second device. But they are getting cannibalized.'”

MacDailyNews Take: iCal sez:
• The iPad has fewer capabilities than a netbook, in a similar size. Not a good start. – Lee Gomes, Forbes, March 05, 2010
• The iPad will remain an expensive, niche device compared to all-purpose netbooks. – Preston Gralla, PCWorld, March 30, 2010
The iPad is cutting into netbook sales because Windows XP Home is the operating system.
Replace the operating system on a netbook with something better (include “magical”) and you got yourself a device better than a iPad believe me.
The iPad is heavy, clumsy and hard to hold and operate. Also it overheats and shuts off if it gets too hot. Also the storage space is lousy, no camera, no ports, no mouse.
My advice if you in the market for a iPad, just scale up to a MacBook Air and be done with it.

Your a fool. The only better OS is OSX or ios. Just another micro slut spewing nonsense.
