People aren't running many programs like that on netbooks. Besides, for the bulk of necessity programs (ie Internet browser, email client, word processor, image processing, etc.), there are free Linux counterparts for all the Windows applications that are just as powerful (Firefox, Thunderbird, Open Office, gIMP, etc.).
