I think the executive is mistaken when he predicts that Windows 7 will win out over XP.
This is what will be available:
Full-featured XP for $10 or so licensing fee.
Crippled Windows 7 Starter for $10 or so licensing fee.
Full-featured Windows 7 Home Premium for $50+ licensing fee.
Given that a high proportion of netbook buyers are looking for low cost and high value, I bet most will stick with XP.
