You must not confuse moblin with netbooks, nettops or with i386/32bit

Oh? That's not what I got from
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/FedoraMoblin
It's what I get from this web-page and what I got from testing the
original Moblin desktop.
IMO, they are targetting MID devices, competing with Android, Smart
phones and similar.
That's a completely different audience as I am talking about: People
using netbooks, nettops and old i386s as inexpensive, "secondary"
machine for everyday, "low end" desktop usage, such as "browsing the
web", "word processing", "presentations", "photo browsing" etc.
User experience part of the page says
"Users of the Fedora Moblin Spin would have a much better user
experience on their NetBook, NetTop and other small devices"
That's what the marketing department wants it to be.
Reality speaks a different language:
* People are using their everyday desktop even on low end machines and
do not want to fiddle around with "custom netbooks desktops".
* People consider their low end machine's performance sufficient for
such use-cases.
The essentially the same rationale/reason why netbooks/nettops with
WinXP have been a huge success and why netbooks with "custom desktops"
were a failure.
