@yule-and-bellow: I enjoyed the comment, but I admit these always leave me puzzled. Are we saying that Windows is crap because they have to sell their stuff so cheap to get anyone to buy it, or are we saying that Apple is way too expensive? Maybe it is meant as a double joke. In any case, I laugh both ways and have a good time, basically, because I don't know any better. #hpbestbuypackage

@yule-and-bellow: Ok... i'm just gonna say this:

I really like Win7, and am super excited about the launch. I'm in the process of choosing my newest Win7 machine.

However, I truly believe that MS is trolling tech site comment boards in a very serious way leading up to this launch. This may not be an example, but I believe it's happening.

I know brands hire agencies to do this, because I'm somewhat familiar with the process and have been involved with it before.

For example: Over at Engadget, virtually EVERY pro-Apple comment has been demoted. I don't believe this would have been the case a year ago.

I much prefer the Giz's handling of comments (promoted vs. hidden), but even it's not impervious to such deliberate "attacks".

And, might I add, I felt the same thing around the time of the Zune HD launch, especially on Amazon.com.

It's a shame because it's deceptive. It's so clearly engineered to skew comment boards & product reviews at a time when MS's products are actually very high quality (i.e. they shouldn't need to do it).

@jfwaterburry: Did you notice that so far (as of the posting of this comment) the only shown comments for this article are a.) one that mentions that you get all that for less than a 13" MBP and b.) that someone else doesn't know whether MS sucks or Apple is overpriced and they don't know any better?

I'd say Giz has a mild case of Engadget's Syndrome. #hpbestbuypackage

@caine3320: Right now, in fact, there's zero comments on this article about Microsoft sucking at all, hidden or not. Actually, all the articles about Windows 7 just seem to have less trolling from Apple fanboys since it's technically not even out yet. Things that legitimately suck, like IE or Windows Mobile have many more negative comments. #hpbestbuypackage

I thought for sure the sequel would be named "River Tam," with a "Simon Tam" men's version.

The Vivienne Tam is nice, but I prefer the River Tam netbook. It looks better in red.

@Uncletwitch: Pffsh. They're bruised. So what? You think women can't slide into home base in shorts, and bleed all over the catcher as she triumphantly raises her arms and shouts in victory, then proceed to clean herself off, nurse her wounds, and then go on a fashion show carrying a netbook of average specs and above average price with a butterfly?! Excuse me, but I find your limitation on gender roles infuriating.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a monster truck/ballet recital to attend.

If there's one thing that Sony has accomplished with their P netbook, it's making the current prices of other netbooks look so much better.

@Kaiser-Machead: Except that 7200 rpm drives tend to suck about an hour's worth of battery life from the laptop... Which, I'm not sure the faster drive on a Netbook would really make a huge difference.

I have been jones-ing for a netbook since[Hurricane] Ike. This looks like it will drop just in time for my trip to Vegas (sister wedding). This will make a great plane ride movie watcher. XBMC or VLC and a 16gb stick full of iso rips of my collection and I am good to go.

BTW this is my first Vegas trip... anyone know anything about the Stratosphere.... thats where I booked

A monthly payment option would be nice... especially for those individuals who are already Verizon customers and cannot get Dell credit to get the Dell Mini.
