I don't see how MAC will come out with full blown MAC OS X on netbook hardware. Their OS is simply to bloated to run on an atom CPU and integrated processor. Notice how Vista isn't installed on any of the netbooks. Granted MAC OS X is lighter than Vista, it's still a giant. If Apple could have delivered the MAC experience on a netbook, they would have done it already.
