Netbooks are among the best selling computers on amazon.  If you are lucky enough to get one as a gift, where can you find cheap software to put on?  

There are two major sources.  

For open source software, Open Source  Windows collected  some of the best free and open source software.  It is not a comprehensive listing of every open-source Windows application, instead the best, most important, and easiest to use was selected.

Academicsuperstore is a great site to buy software at a much lower price as long as there is a student in your family. For example, you can save $400 on 2007 office professional.
