I'll believe it when they bring the price down.
Most of the cretins jumping on the bandwagon are selling
over priced devices pandering to WINDUMMIES, even if nobody
is buying the windummy models - so much so there are never enough Linux ones
left on the shelves!!! How could dumb fscks loose so much money
pandering to pro micoshaft fools I don't know - particularly
Linux users are clamouring out of the woodworks to feed them
with money!
To sell higher volumes of machines, the price of the machines have to drop
to account for Linux arriving on the scene and the WINDUMMIES will have
to be left behind if their OSen can't run on the Linux machines.
Lets face it, the WINDUMMY OSen is NEVER going to run at great
speed on ANY Laptop!! So you may as well switch everything to Linux,
and then ship with dual core or greater and train everyone to use
Linux and if they must have WINDUMMY OSen, then tell them to run
it virtual mode in a virtual PC where it will run at least twice
as fast on the dual core!
