"Now, being the insane part of the population, not flexible, dependent and incapable of using the grey cells you'd rather pay 450 to 500 USD for the SAME netbook just with Windows 7. Great, congratulations that you cannot open iTunes and Skype since Internet ExPloder is running as well as Microsoft Word 2007 (forgot to add another 300 USD for the Office suite) and VLC - Yep, forgot? 3 applications maximum. Alright, as a workaround you will run Windows 7 Home Premium or Ultimate - please add another 100+ USD to that price. Or did you download the illegal version from PirateBay :-)
