I think it has more to do with price and availability. Before this generation of 'netbooks', it cost a small fortune to get a tiny notebook. Now with light, portable (both being highly desirable features to a lot of people) 'netbooks' being the cheapest on the market, it makes sense that they're taking off. I'm going to get one myself eventually, but haven't dove in yet. I want to get one with a good keyboard, and the Asus really isn't good enough. Haven't touched the Dell, MSI, or Aspire yet but I hope they're better.
