Depending on how they price these ultra-portables they maybe on to something.

I dont like netbooks because they are too small and underpowered and has been looking for something in between. A 12 incher that is more capable... however the notebooks available at these segement are usually pretty expensive.

So this maybe a good sign, but will really depend on how they price it.

Finally Microsoft replies to Apple's ads. For the longest time Microsoft has decided, for reasons all their own and at their peril, to simply ignore the original ads from Apple. The original ads from Apple though was not about how much better OS X is from Vista but it was more about how Apple users are hip and cool compared to their "PC" counterparts. There is an elitist sub message in those ads, (For why else would they decide to choose a balding, chubby, boring guy in a suite to play the PC guy.) A lot of people either hate those ads or are outright insulted by it (except of course the Mac fanboys in their proverbial ivory towers). Apple started the whole trend to steriotype the average pc user, a stereotype that has become pervasive. Overall, I like these ads... I see Microsoft trying to break the stereotype first and eventually move on to show some of the decent features of their OS as the campaign progresses. I don't really think there's any reason for this whole OS war. Each OS is good in its own right.

How 'bout a comparison between dSLR and the new Power Shot G9?
