You were not wrong at all, the netbook thing was right until a few years ago.
Linux is fine for many people if all you do is use the internet you would be ok. Ok that is if it works on your PC straight away. I have tried it on a few laptops/netbooks/PC's and found things that did not work like touchpads and graphic cards. After a lot of messing about with the command line and typing long command in I managed to get most things working.
Yes its getting better all the time but why make life hard, if you know how windows works and are happy with it then just use it.
Your Vista example is a good one because Vista was rubbish. You would have been better changing the OS to Windows 7, much cheaper than buying a new laptop and I suspect you are not a power user so would not have had a problem with your old laptop and Windows 7.
I changed my dads Vista laptop to windows 7 and it made it much nicer to use.
