For all of you who counted on Windows 7 to revive Microsoft after Vista's train wreck, look no further than this article for proof against it.
XP-based Netbooks are here to stay, with prices going below the $200 mark via subscription subsidies. If Microsoft tries to push Windows 7 in this segment, it will get bitten not only by the consumers, but by the telcos, not willing to subsidize for a OS costumers don't ask for.
So it's either Windows 7 at the same price as Windows XP, or Microsoft pushes XP out and telcos go to Google's Chrome, or Microsoft stops meddling with the market and leaves the telco's decide which OS to put.
