CR-48 owner here. From my experiences with it vs. a WinXP netbook, I'd say the CR-48 provides a much better experience. It could do to be a little faster and have more RAM, but for a lot of contexts I don't even notice that there's nothing outside the browser. And I would assume that on a given set of hardware, a Chrome OS notebook would be cheaper. Sure, it's possible to do a lot of desktop PC stuff on a netbook, but who would want to?
