Hi ALL: This is an excellent idea. I have Mathematica on a Netbook, and it runs fine. So far I have the 1GB of RAM, maximum is 2GB. To test it I factored 100,000!, and got an answer in about 5 seconds, so I figured it will crunch any problems I present to it. I also submitted this idea to Wolfram, to sell Mathematica preloaded on Netbooks, I got no response, except Thank you for submitting this idea.
