Did Intel Misjudge Success of the Netbook?

I agree that not every netbook purchased is a notebook not purchased. Far from it. We bought a netbook for Christmas. At this time, we would not have bought a notebook or other PC if netbooks didn't exist. There would have been some other present under the Christmas tree. The netbook fills a somewhat different need than a larger notebook. We already have a 2 notebooks and 2 desktops in the family. We didn't need another notebook. I'm sure many other consumers view the netbook the same way.
