We bought one for her mom. While we won't know for a few months how that experiment works out I was pleased with my experience with it while setting it up for her (adding account, bookmarks, and fooling around). I could write on it, especially as I use Google's office applications more and other web apps, ssh for the rest. I think the Desktop Apps available in the Chrome Web Store and the accompanying Chrome Apps icon in my Mac's Dock and Windows taskbar are much more interesting developments and I imagine Apple and Microsoft are rather more concerned about that than the netbooks. This is not the first intrusion of browser based applications onto desktop computers (Prism ,etc) but it certainly the boldest and works quite smoothly.
