You could always run Mac OS X on it.

Much much much much better than Windows XP.

This would be breaking Apples EULA or what ever they call it as their OS's can only be installed on hardware manufactured by them. OSX might be better than XP in your opinion but the premium you would have to pay to get OSX legally over a netbook is just not worth it in my opinion.

If you are talking high end PC's or Laptops the cost differences are slim if at all, but Apple just don't have a decent entry product.

For ease of use and compatability I would use Microsoft Windows XP, Linux is ok for basic tasks however unless you are prepared to learn Linux and live the "Linux way of life" just go for XP.
