My workstations are still Fedora, and I'm awkwardly trying to learn KDE because I can't stomach GNOME 3. But Fuduntu seems to be designed with a mind toward the netbook.

Jerry Pournelle (http://www.jerrypournelle.com) reports that Windows 8 appears designed to take advantage of "hardware you don't have yet." He suggests that most people stick with Windows 7 for the time being if they have the choice.
I knew Pournelle back in the 70s; never really got to trust him. But he often does get some things right. :)
Not using Windows myself, I don't know, but I tend to trust his experience in these things.
