NVIDIA introduces ION LE platform for Windows XP computers
NVIDIA has a slight variation of its ION platform, which combines a low power Intel Atom processor with a higher performance NVIDIA graphics. The new NVIDIA ION LE is almost exactly the same as the first generation ion, but according to Fudzilla, ION LE DirectXv9 only, not DirectX 10th
ION LE is for Netbook and nettops Windows XP, while the broader Featured ION version of the NVIDIA platform supports DirectX 10 and is expected to be bundled with computers running Windows 7th
Microsoft offers low-cost licenses for Windows XP Netbook and nettop makers for the last year or so, which helps the price for this computer. It also helps them from competing with higher end systems. It is likely that NVIDIA also cut some costs, which may or may not be along to consumers, by supporting DX9 but not DX10, at least until Windows 7 is widely available.
