Once people discover the limitations after buying the device, word of mouth will not be positive. How would you feel knowing that "good deal" netbook is actually costing you $75 (or some amount) more than you thought because of the OS upgrade required.
This is a PR disaster waiting to happen.
Those netbooks will either get returned for ones with the full version of Win 7, or exchanged for a Linux version.
This is "Vista Capable" all over again. Pure marketing poison.
