The few friends I have with netbooks running Win7 are pretty
 unhappy with it: Win7 seems to run slowly on that hardware and
 require well more than half the diskspace of your average netbook
 for the OS alone.

"Run Linux" is the obvious answer, but that too brings challenges
 and a learning curve.  Linux Mint I agree is a good choice for a
 non-technical person.
