| In many ways, the previous IT downturn marked the industry's coming of age.
| In its wake, the industry was no longer mainly about "hot" new technologies
| that made maximal use of Moore's law....Firms have since started to opt more
| for good-enough "cold" wares, which save them money and allow for more
| flexibility: commodity hardware, open-source software such as the Linux
| operating system and programs accessed over the Internet, or "software as a
| service" (SaaS). The crisis will only speed up this shift, not least because
| many of the cold technologies have themselves become more mature.

| The Acer has a built-in webcam, which makes it ideal for video-calling
| services such as Skype. Admittedly, installing third-party software can be a
| bit of a fiddle, and some of the advice available online threatens to lure
| users into the tangled depths of the Linux undergrowth, where few people will
| want to venture. But as netbooks become more prevalent, such difficulties are
| likely to ease.
