Net books and tablets have eschewed optical drives

Yeah. But that's because you don't need to lug the optical drive around. I have a USB Drive which reads and writes CDs and DVDs. It would be cumbersome to use the netbook for anything except the internet without occasionally hooking it up to load purchased programs.

The Mac App store will soon remedy that too. It should be noted that Jobs indicated that they would not be the only player in the App Store market place.
