    IMO, the large manufacturers have not been fans of them because of the small profits to be made and because they are canabalising sales of their cheaper full size laptops.
    BBC article:

    Many contemporary netbook models run Windows XP or Windows 7 which has forced the specifications, and price, upwards.
    That's the problem.
