FFS. That's like saying a the V8 in a Corvette's powered by it's driver! The reason ARM's are used in netbooks is because they're far more power/heat efficient. Running an x86 means more heat > heatsinks > larger casing + less battery life/larger battery > larger casing again. You'll have already paid a premium in usability before they whack you with the OS cost... ...unless they work on an RISC/ARM kernel. Since when did OS’s “Power” processors?
