Yes it was. MS didn't want XP to be on these machines, they wanted Vista, but the low specs of Netbooks forced them to keep XP on or concede the market to others. It's one market where other OSs - Linux, Android, OSx/iPhone (when apple launch a tablet or whatever) have a good chance. And a later, more consumer-friendly design.
Though I didn't know MS's share was over 90%. It will be interesting to see what Windows 7 brings to this.
As for windows mobile - the less said about that the better.
