As a general point we'd encourage everyone to investigate Linux netbook operating systems, such as Ubuntu Netbook Edition or Jolicloud, if you find the performance not to your liking. Not only are they faster, their interfaces are better suited to a netbook's screen resolution. Don't be scared, it's a lot simpler than you think.
