Default Java development on a netbook

Something interesting that I didn't know; Sun considers your netbook an embedded or function specific device and as such it is not covered by the current (don't know about the past) JDK license. This is taken from the license itself
Quote:
The use of Software in systems and solutions that provide
dedicated functionality (other than as mentioned above) or
designed for use in embedded or function-specific software
applications, for example but not limited to: Software
embedded in or bundled with industrial control systems,
wireless mobile telephones, wireless handheld devices,
netbooks, kiosks, TV/STB, Blu-ray Disc devices, telematics
and network control switching equipment, printers and
storage management systems, and other related systems are
excluded from this definition and not licensed under this
Agreement.
