[gui-talk] netbooks vs sony vayo computer

[albert griffith]

I don't think they're trying to fool us but to make a point.  It looks and
feels like windows for substantially less money.  When people try out the
lap top and find it seems just like the Windows they have at home they're
convinced.  Then they learn about the productivity software and such and
they're hooked.  I think it's great.  Microsoft needs the competition.

Well, yes and no. It's Linux, but they market it as Lindows to fool the 
public.
