Microsoft and Intel to limit netbook screen size to 10-inch for Windows 7
Both Microsoft and Intel have decided to put a limit on the screen size for netbooks that would be running Windows 7 OS. It will be decreased from 12-inch to 10-inch now. According Taiwan based notebook makers, it had a negative impact on the VIA technologies.
This is also a BIG BAD NEWS for the netbook manufactures: There won’t be any netbooks running Windows 7 that will have 11.6-inch screen size.
Believe it or not, we all saw this coming. The netbook manufactures were getting a little out of control and had started releasing almost notebook-sized netbooks. Somebody had to put a limit over the screen-size and there is no one better than Microsoft for this job!
