Windows works great, the issue is the applications, and indirectly the developers of said applications, some of which are on HN.

Most applications are requesting hundreds of megabytes if not entire gigabytes, the system will swap to death after you open an app and a browser tab on facebook.

I remember a friend who bought a 2GB netbook, the thing froze to death whenever he opened just eclipse, he had to return it.
