The problem with Windows on netbooks
Netbooks need SSDs. I do not like very portable devices with a spinning disk, they are just not robust enough. Windows space requirements coupled with their poor performance (so far) on small, low end SSDs, makes Windows a poor choice.

It seems that most of the market disagrees with me, but that is OK.
