MS can set the terms for who they will sell the OEM version of Windows XP to. They only sell it now to machines under a certain spec. But, I think this is a stop gap measure, because their plan is for Windows 7 to be able to run on these lower power machines. And from reports I have heard from folks that have installed it on their netbooks it is running just fine on them... and it is still beta.
