The same bad practices

> Microsoft probably tells the vendor that they'll be paying more for those
> Windows licences if they mix something else into their offerings

This can be true to netbooks sold by desktop vendors, but, with the advance of netbooks from the cellular industry, this probably won't work that easy.

This is a new and very dynamic market. IMO, netbooks will reflect what happens at the smartphone market, where you see waves where you see some software has predominance over the others, for some time, but that can be quickly replaced by other software on the next wave.
