To counter that, 800x600 mode is also still available to users who want it. As well, by the time Big Bang gets here with the new UI, the new Cedertrail platform should be out (late 2010, early 2011), which will have enhanced graphical abilities over the current Pinetrail platform, and the even older Diamondville (what I have). The new Cedertrail platform boasts the ability to hardware decode 1080p H.264 videos, and play them through HDMI. So, it is probably safe to say that it is at least as powerful as the GMA 4500MHD from Intel, which means that it should handle the new UI with no problems (not to mention that the new client actually runs far more efficiently). And some netbooks have a native resolution of 1366 x 768 instead of the 1024x600 standard.
Heck, even without the new GPU update, the current GMA 3150 or the older GMA 950 should have no problems handling Maple at 1024x768.
