I can't help but wonder when Microsoft will send out the counterstrike. They will! They'll no doubt (probably already in negotiation) team up with a hardware manufacturer (they already produce the X Box don't forget and other hardware) and offer a laptop installed with the latest Windows which will probably be cut down. It will happen...
They've already teamed up with AMD for one machine. http://www.amdboard.com/pic.html I've been watching the development of these low cost systems. simputer http://www.simputer.org/ http://www.ncoretech.com/simputer/index.html mobilus http://www.ncoretech.com/ http://www.ncoretech.com/mobilis/pdf/mobilisbrochure.pdf I wish they were available here. I've been wanting a hand crank laptop since I saw the wind up radio, wondering when or if they'd produce a wind up power supply for other devices.. -- Collector of vintage computers http://www.ncf.ca/~ba600
