Swap one giant (Microsoft) for another (Google) and we are left in the same situation.

Most people won't change operating systems, period. For the typical Netbook buyer, a Netbook is a cheap and convenient carry-around device for Internet access, blogging, etc., not a replacement for a fully-functional desktop or laptop computer. An Android Netbook won't replace Windows any more than a Blackberry, a Palm OS device, or an iPhone replaces Windows.
