Cheap and a little more cheerful than XP or Vista Starter.

But instead they use pricing to limit screens to 10.2 inches or smaller

most of the "do not include" make sense apart from being able to personalize desktop background??? and maybe media streaming (although im guessing you can still use other programs to do this)

That all sounds like reasonable ways to cut down to a "Starter Edition" - I'd disable most of that myself on a Netbook anyway... so long as the price is very low as well, I think this could be a big win for MS on the larger Netbooks (I'm thinking EEE, Wind etc) - of course smaller ones with ARM CPUs will always be Linux only...
