I myself don't use my computer for productive tasks. I just know that most semi/professional users need industry standard applications to do their jobs. That's is, those users that actually need a PC.

If they are using expensive professional programs that are only available for Windows, why are they buying a netbook?

Even then, getting away from netbooks, the traditional notions of "my type of work needs an industry standard application that can only be run on a Windows PC" are very questionable these days.

One favourite that used to be mentioned a lot in this context is AutoCAD.

Now, one can run Bricscad:

... even on Linux.

You are out of date.
