Why do some IT people get so upset about netbooks? Story after story from “real IT” people accuse netbooks of trying to take over the world by fraud or trickery or magic. What IT pundits, like the writer of Forget Netbooks, Desktops Rule, forget is that "normal” people don't care about ideology when they buy a netbook, they care about price, portability, and getting their work done. If a netbook does that for them, why does that upset the IT people?
