I don't consider my comment about netbooks not being ready for the enterprise a "throwaway comment." Enterprise clients have specific needs that are addressed by Dell, Lenovo, HP, etc. in their business-grade notebooks. Enterprise clients require durability, image stability, compatibility with their current notebook ecosystems and extended battery-life for ultra-portables. <br><br>I've used virtually every netbook on the market and can assure you that none of them are ready for prime time in the enterprise. Yes, they can perform web/productivity tasks just fine, but none of them (except the HP Mini 2133) has a shell that's going to stand up to 3-4 years of use.<br><br>You're right that enterprises will require XP Pro and/or Vista Business. The good news is that a new year is bringing version 2 of many netbooks and at least a couple of them will be business ready. Stay tuned to <a href="http://Notebooks.com" rel="nofollow">Notebooks.com</a> and as I've already seen the future and I think you'll really like what's coming at CES.
