Haven't seen one with Vista installed from the factory? Why is that?
Why do netbooks still use XP...

You've never seen a laptop with vista on it, stock? That's some trippy stuff because that is all i see...

netbooks are small, light, and cheap laptops that serve their main use in doing normal things (internet use, word processing, etc.)
An example would be the EEE PC.
XP is used because Vista is made to take advantage of the high performance of modern computers, netbooks are not really high-performance, they are made to do what they do and do it well so XP is a great OS to use, also some netbooks use Linux (EEE PC used Linux initially).

Vista needs a relatively powerful CPU to run, and those things eat electricity. You want something light-weight on a netbook, so that the battery will last longer... make sense?
It's dinky.
