So the markup for bundling a Windows OS is modest -- probably easily offset by improved marketability of a Windows vs Linux netbook for the masses. For those who really want Ubuntu, you can always add a dual boot Ubuntu partition on your own. Typically, most netbooks these days have 120 or more Gs of HD space -- plenty for a second OS partition.
