   Well of corse this laptop is going to get lots of "scorn" not just by Bill Gates, but just the user at end. This is no Area-51 Alienware laptop,no not at all. This is a STUDENT LAPTOP made for typing up a paper. NOT FOR PLAYING EURO-FORCE ON.

   I agree eko. Also, africa and asia are expanding and growing markets. Doesn't help MS if their markets don't like MS but prefer Google.
