It varries from brand to brand. For example, I use HP mini PC and it's keyboard is just like a notebook. What they have basically done is to remove the row containing insert/delete/page up/down keys. Instead of these they have added additional functions to the function key. E.G. Function+up aero = home, Function+ rite aero = End etc. I think netbooks from now on will carry windows 7 and so for they mostly are designed for Windows XP since Windows vista may be too much for an intel adam processer. Since I have an external hard drive, I do not require too much of internal hard drive and henceforth I chose one with a solid space. It means that you will not have a moveing hard drive there by minimising crashing of your hard drive. More significantly, it is very lite and henceforth easy to carry.
