Will there be an option for it to come pre-loaded with Vista instead of that crappy OSX? Seriously.
On a less serious note, any proper specs anywhere? Didn't notice anything other than the usual marketing tripe on that site ("a trackpad that is the button", I thought they all did already, just tap the damn thing?).
Though I've downgraded my screen resolution to 12x10 (actual pixels) on advice from the doc to counter eye strain before I end up with more eye bags than Brownstuff.
Some of these smilies are almost human at this scale.
Heads will roll if I don't get some facts, quick sharp.....

But there's more 'stuff' out there to try before you buy for Vista.
Someone told me the macs could run windows stuff (using emulation?) directly without need to dual boot or any other hassle. Is this true?
Still waiting for the specs....Feist - 1234. One camera, one take, no editing. Superb. How they did it
