EEE and why its not a comparable subnotebook Added

OMG - i do not understand how a person that can use make and apt-get would think that average joe blow would be able to integrate linux into there life.

And these complaints about system differences are bogus - OSX - XP - Vista are all desktop gui based at the main user level what ever is under the hood.

Getting gnome or kde to work without knowledge of all your installed hardware is difficult if not impossible in most cases.

MacBook Air may not be the end all for a sub notebook but it does have the pretty OS that works out of the box.

OK with the ability to run windows you can NOW do a good job of comparing :P
