Microsoft to exclude ARM netbooks for Windows 7

From Alibaba -

Microsoft's new Windows 7 will not run on netbooks powered by ARM chips, Microsoft said on Wednesday, a blow to the British firm's hopes of becoming a big player in the sector. The news comes days after ARM said it planned to grab a foothold in the fast-growing netbook market this year, and that it was aiming for a 30% share of the entire market next year.
