From the article:

"Meanwhile, the prospect of millions of new PC users buying the Eee PC
without Windows seemed to worry Microsoft. Just before the launch, it
agreed to give Eee PC buyers the option of getting Windows for under
$40, more than a third off the standard price."

I guess even MS knows that Linux isn't a toy OS for losers like Frank
says over and over again.

"For instance, the 2- to 8-gigabyte memory cards can be upgraded to 32
gigabytes and the RAM from 256 megabyte to 1 gigabyte by simply taking out
two screws on the back of the machine"

Sounds like a toy...the mem cards are the hard drive.
What "Windows" will it be?
Windows CE ?

Solid state drives are the future, maybe not immediate future, but this is
a step in the right direction.

Perhaps something as Windows Fundamentals ?

Yeh, you idiot. I guess that is why it's in a computer that one could carry

MS is worried. See above if you can read plain English (you can't).

Hee hee.

OEM licensing for Vista is about $35. Microsoft is making an extra five
bucks on the deal.

M$ employ people to worry.. they wouldn't be where they are now if they
didn't.
All successful companies employ people to worry about the competition.
Maybe that's why Linux isn't as successful.. all they can afford is the
monkeys in cola.

Yeah, I don't know that monkeys are the only ones that buy Linux and
worry about the competition. Sure, you're a fuçking business genius.

Unlike you and Dennis, you're right, I don't believe that monkeys can be
worrying about OS competition.

Have you developed the balls to tell me what you would to do me if we
were to meet in person yet?

You made the empty threat. Now you're trying to get out of it. I don't
want you to do anything but get lost. Can you do that?

Threat! I wouldn't waste my valuable time threating a low life lying
loser like you or anyone else for that matter. You're just a coward.

Now you're trying to get out of it.

Get out of what?

I don't
> want you to do anything but get lost.

I'm using Vista and you're not.

Can you do that?

I can do anything I my heart desires...!
