Not really - if a home user has the "Student and Home" version of Office 2007, they get three installs...so someone could add Office 2007 for their netbook for free. Or, buying a new copy of said software is $91 USD from Amazon. Not free, but not outrageous either.

Well, here's the thing: most people don't like learning new things.
I think Linux is great for some people, but I've yet to see a netbook that is easy enough for an average person to figure out - unless they only use the browser.
