Windows Home Server and Netbooks

Commenter JohnCz recently suggested:

Perhaps one day we'll see WHS OEMs offer a free netbook with WHS purchase.  Or perhaps a WHS bundled with an extender is on the horizon.

While I can’t say when or if either will happen (partially due to pesky little NDAs, but mostly because I don’t know), it should be noted that from a marketing perspective something similar is already happening. Recently our friends at Acer recently launched the Acer easyStore H340 in Japan and as part of their retail strategy there are selling it alongside one of their netbook models:

DSCN0815

Here’s hoping we’ll see similar display setups if/when the H340 comes stateside.

Nice hardware, nice picture!

Just wondering about the intentions of this display: is it showing how 'tiny' the H340 is or is it just trying to make it look 'bigger' ;-)

I think it's more of a 'better together' strategy... but then I'm not a marketing guy so what do I know?
