What a useless comment. Call me when you understand that most people don't give a toss about what OS they use.
Anyway, the 1.2Ghz will be the bargain basement model (if you can call a $3K laptop 'bargain basement'). I assume they'll issue more powerful models later.
So the 5,000,000 who bought the leopard upgrade in the past 70 days don't give a toss about what OS they use?"
The 100,000,000 people who bought the XP upgrade don't give a toss about what OS they run?
The people who waited in line to upgrade to Win95 don't care?
The fact that Intel, Dell, Lenovo, Gateway, HP bet their earnings last year to Wall Street on people buying new computers to run Vista? And the tens of thousands of analysts who believed them? (Shame Vista was a disaster.)
Or how people are leaving for Linux or OS X don't give a toss either?
What I find so funny about comments like yours is you don't understand market segments. Yes, there are segments of the market which don't care nor understand what an OS is.
But there are tens of millions of people who do.
And for SOME people in the market, those who chose to run OS X, iLife, iWork, etc. the MacBook Air is their product of choice because it is the lightest laptop which runs OS X. And even if the Lenovo laptop was free, it wouldn't matter.
Useless comment? Only to you, my man. (ANd you're in for a sad disappointment if you don't see the bad news coming on the vaporware press release.)
To the 9 guys I know who bought MBA's, it was their #1 reason for buying the MBA. And to Apple, that's all they care about.
Kids these days...
