Nope. Hardware that ran Linux fine was insufficient for Windows. So Microsoft made requirements for larger screens, bigger memory or they'd take away the windows discount. So manufacturers stopped making 7" and 9" netbooks. And the 11" that they did make we're not as appealing to the people who liked netbooks at the time - the price/performance/weight/size difference was not reasonable compared to a bona fide laptop.

Which probably was microsoft's intention in the first place.
