But a smaller HDD Maybe this is another windows limit?
Actually, the Korean versions were always 120 GB. The ones sent to Europe and the US got bumped to 160 GB. Technically, the Microsoft limit is 80 GB, as well as a 1.0 GHz microprocessor. They've cut a little slack in both those metrics, though, in allowing bigger HDDs and Intel's Atom.
I imagine the next major update to the netbook market will be when the dual-core Atom hits, provided Microsoft allows it.

Talk of dual core always makes me think of this post. Early days though and I don't pretend to be an expert on those kind of details!
Good point. I was just in the process of updating my post (again) considering Microsoft's involvement in the matter. According to the Tom's Hardware article, the power consumption of a dual-core Atom is double, anyway, so that has to affect the battery life. -Know thyself, and accept no substitute.
I guess the future is on the Atom z500's processors and on the chipset poulsbo. This combination will get us 8~10 hours off battery life with a good performance...
The future (near future) of MSI U110 & U115 will be based on this combination...
