At this point, and likely for some time to come, XP is being installed
by OEMs on new "small footprint" computers, such as "netbooks".

It was like this in the "Vista era" but now, most netbooks come with
Windows 7 Starter edition.


True.


I've upgraded my "XP netbook"(ASUS) to Win7 Home and it runs as well, if
not better than with XP.


My EEE came with XP too. Because you can't directly get from XP to
Windows 7 without doing a clean installation, I first upgraded to
Vista, then to Windows 7 Ultimate. Performance isn't great, but it's
adequate for my uses.
