you can use a usb cd/dvd rom drive to load windows. i have done it on the marine pc's at work. all you need to do, is go into the bios and tell it to load from the usb drive first, before loading from the hardrive. pop the disc in the drive, reboot, and bob's yer uncle

Buy an external DVD drive or burner. I bought my wife one of those netbooks, and we found that is really the best route because if you buy any programs or opt to burn discs or whatever you simply need a drive. I already had the external for burning films and CDs so it was no big issue for me. But you can get drives super cheap. It would definitely be a worthwhile purchase for a netbook user.
