It’s the hottest gift this year, most popular computer, and sold 30,000,000 strong so far. So why don’t you or why won’t you use your netbook? You see what they forgot to tell you is that super small computer they sold you had a cramped keyboard and a extra small track-pad. It also doesn’t have a DVD-RW so making music CDs is out. Want to pop in software you got a for a great deal from DigitalTreasures, you are out of luck again. So what do you do with this cramped little computer?

Well, fortunately the folks at PC Treasures have been around the block a few times. We’ve had a chance to try out most of the Netbooks on the market, this is why we chose the MSI Wind netbook for our Ultimate Netbook Package. Why? Because it offers a real usable keyboard, track pad with conventional buttons, and support like no other computer manufacturer. Quite simply we think its the most usable, most durable Netbook on the market. Whether you buy it from us or another vendor you will love it

Considering the Apple copied Xerox and wouldn’t have a business except Microsoft wrote Excel and Word for them, considering Apple has less than 10% market share, considering Jobs cribbed Unix to come up with OS X and Microsoft cribbed Unix and Digital’s os to create NT…considering the cross-fertilization of concepts and ideas has created a fantastic industry you are right.

Windows 7? “The future of computing is the Macintosh.” Bill Gates

Considering that Micro$oft has done little but copy the Mac OS since 1984, Mr. Gates was obviously serious.

Their problem has always been they were a few OS versions behind and they never have been able to get it quite right. The first release is always a bug-filled disaster.

[...] buy a Dell, not a Microsoft computer. But they’ve all conceded revenue for market share, and only now have they begun to realise the hole they’ve dug themselves into. Apple is a low-volume high-profit/revenue player which [...]

I read Dell’s quote. He didn’t say they were dumb. He said that they’re not recommended as a replacement for your regular or high end PC.

For someone who travels and requires something that is lightweight and can easily access the web to check their email, update a blog, update Facebook… then a netbook is ideal. If it gets stolen, you’re only out $300.

I presume you just don’t travel very much.
