EeePC is not the only netbook in the market. Netbook market is very huge.
That's why we have Ubuntu Netbook Remix, Moblin, KDE Plasma Netbook, and so on.
Personally I don't believe that most of the people using them. It's
more a _trend_ than a _necessity_.
It's a "good to have" feature for LXDE. This could attract
netbook-users... But also I believe that they'll switch to "normal"
desktop+panel mode sooner or later. :-)
