We got a chance to ask Steven Sinofsky some netbook questions that have been burning at our souls since we first had a look at Windows 7. For those that don't know, Sinofsky was the longtime Office head before moving over to the Windows group last year.
As a more recent development, Netbooks as a class of hardware didn't really exist during the Windows Vista development cycle. When netbooks do ship with Windows, the resource constraints generally force vendors into the old, wrinkly arms of XP. Sinofsky demonstrated Windows 7 on a netbook during the PDC day-2 keynote, and we were curious to find out more about it. Here's what Sinofsky had to say about the future of Windows on netbooks.
