Perhaps, perhaps not.  Microsoft _is_ pushing pretty hard to get Windows 
7 into the netbook market.

I get the whole "XP code to too old to care" bit, but it seems odd to take
that "old code" and re-market it around compatibility and re-distribute it
with free downloads for Win7 while saying "we won't patch old code."
    

Let's not forget that the majority of netbooks come with Windows XP Home, and 
are likely to for a while.
