Saying a netbook can be "hackintoshed" is enough to invalidate the list. That's an absurd point. And while possible on a select few netbooks, doing so would be totally pointless.
Gaming on a netbook? JFC....
Your point about multitasking stands, but that list is shite...

Again, multitasking IS possible. It just isn't on 3rd party apps. And that's what people want.
Again, I'm guessing that they will unveil multitasking or their version of it in OS 4.0. If not, I'd begin to think their stance on multitasking is the same as flash - you don't need it. I'd disagree with that and cite media and social apps as a huge hole in that thinking, but it's their product nonetheless.
And, yes, that's a shitty article. FTR, I think netbooks are dumb. I also don't think this is aiming for the netbook market, really.

Apple's always been that way. That's why they haven't licensed their OS. They keep everything tightly integrated which avoids BSoD or things of that nature. Everything runs how it should.
If you don't like it, don't buy it. But articles like the one you posted miss the point.

It's funny that Apple would get crap for their control when they were pretty much the ones pioneering the whole webcam on every PC and laptop. Or when they pioneered the mouse.
ALSO, Jobs said that their ebook prices will match Amazon's.
