I have a 7 year old netbook with an older Atom processor and 1.5GB of RAM. I ran Win 7 Pro on it for about 5 years and could easily have about a half-dozen programs running all at the same time. 2GB of RAM works even better.
Just to share a bit -- I had the opposite experience. My wife impulse-bought an HP Netbook. 1.8GHz Atom, 2GB, Windows 7 Starter (or was it 'Basic').
She's a light user and found it to be awful. I'm a heavy user and found it to be downright horrible.
Last year, I found it wasting away in some drawer and I put Lubuntu on it. Now it's tolerable. :)
I guess everyone's experiences are different.
