Also, I've seen some netbooks lately with something like 22 GB solid-disk storage with linux or 12 GB solid-disk storage with vista... for the same price. So they added more memory to the linux box, because they're not having to pay for an operating system. btw, I liked the "article", Josh... I'm excited for the Aero-stuff.

I also think battery life is an issue, something which is touted as a major plus of W7.

I originally though it ridiculous that the starter addition didn't allow for dvd playbook until you said it could be mainly for netbooks. I guess you wouldn't really neeed it for that anyways.

I think Microsoft is still on track to release W7 around the middle of the year. Pricing will be announced in the coming months.
