That OS10 and Vista are both resource hogs?
Yeah, we sort of knew that…

The netbooks I use seem to work just fine with 512 and 1GB ram
with both Linux and XP.

Hardware is not the problem.
Your OS is.

i have been doing some guesswork in the direction of apple over time replacing the consumer part of their mac lineup (desktop and laptop) with something that have more in common with iphone then current day osx.

thing is, if they take the iphone interface, or close to it, and add iwork into the mix, they already have a working “netbook” setup.
