Perhaps in Europe or Asia.  With current US throughput rates and the
bandwidth caps they're looking to put on internet connections, I
certainly wouldn't want to wait for a netboot over the Internet.  They
would need to dramatically slim down the minimal size of a Windows (or
Linux) desktop install for that to really be feasible.

Now OS install over the internet.  That would be feasible since it is
a much more infrequent process.
