Ever heard of a Hackintosh? Many Netbook models will run OSX:

Some tweaking may be required though. But you end up with the best of both worlds
Although, it's a bit slow. I'd rather run Windows XP on a netbook.

Don't install Windows 7 Home on a netbook. It'd be barely usable. They come with the starter version on purpose: it's less demanding than full version
