All Microsoft needs to do on workstations and conventional laptops is fix the performance issues on Vista. There's nothing else wrong with Vista -- I've got a HP Pavilion DV4 laptop with Vista Home Premium 64 bit and except for the ghastly performance, it's fine. I don't plan to "upgrade" it to Windows 7 unless the upgrade is free.

But on netbooks, it's a whole other story. A netbook needs to run Office 2007, IE 8 and Skype. Period. The Windows version doesn't really matter.

"A netbook needs to run Office 2007, IE 8 and Skype. Period" Are you on crack? It's 2009. With the internet and Linux, MS products are no longer required.

My netbook runs Firefox, OpenOffice and skype. My kids love it and use it all the time. They don't don't care that it does not have Windows. They give me strange look when I ask them if they want Windows on it. I would then have to slow it down with anti-malware software....

Only people who refuse to adapt MUST have MS apps....
