Would liked to have seen the actual video, but seeing as how it's set to private, my guess is it wasn't terribly well-received.
Microsoft is clearly unhappy that they're losing their market of people paying too much for what they really need (i.e. the elderly couple who pays $800 for a new desktop when a $200 e-machine would solve their basic needs of watching Youtube, checking email, etc). The netbooks provided low-cost, portable laptops for students and the like, but their performance was incredibly sluggish. The Chromebooks run in a similarly limited capacity, but since it's running an OS that has been optimized for gimped specs, the performance I got out of a Chromebook for everyday tasks was miles ahead of what I ever got out of a netbook. That has Microsoft very worried.
