in Dell Mini 9 Running OS X Is Blueprint for the Future on Fred Brunel
I used to think about installing MacOSX on a Mini 9, but found a better solution : buy a PowerBook 12" : it's about 350 € (a bit more expensive) but it rocks ! I did it, and I'm happy again !
I've seen OSX running on a EEEPC 901 and it's quite slow. Furthermore, the hardware is not fully supported, but I think that the situation is better on a Mini 9.

The real question here is : who told that he would left soon ?

It's still a rumor especially as he will not attend Macworld SFO.

I tend to believe in people instead of systems. I think that even Ive would draw a platypus if his boss wants a duck with no wings... In other words, Jobs has a vision that is quite clear and this is what makes his products so powerful. If Apple looses this vision, I'm quite sure that the magic is gone.

Sure, Apple won't be the same, but I'm confident that his vision is "shared" and well understood by other key people in the company.
I don't know if it will be enough in the long-term, but it won't be a disaster like the last time he left.

Once in the past Jobs was fired from Apple... You know the end of the story. What's the difference now ?

Yep but at the time, the company was already in a pretty bad shape and had not that many rock stars as it had right now (i.e. John Ive).
OS X on netbooks is a hack but it's better than nothing I guess. I've been told that on the Mini 9 everything is recognized; but you have to install some drivers.
Regarding performances, I guess it's because you need 2GB at minimum for OS X, and most netbooks only ships with 1GB.
