Nope, they picked cheap. There are fine windows configurations available, but MS picked a bottom-feeder to bolster their ad: If you must buy cheap, you must buy our OS on it. Strange message for a software maker, no?
For the record, the hardware was the scum-sucker, not MS. I just think it strange that this is their main marketing strategy. Apple doesn't make their main logic boards anymore, since they went with Intel, but they used to design them. What's the point? I never said the hardware from Apple is better because they make every component; they never have. I also wrote that one can buy good hardware running Windows. But that was not what MS chose for their we are cheap ad, which required the cheap hardware. Thank you, Mark Snyder -----Original Message----- Check your outgoing about 21 hours ago where you said and I quote: *No. So they show adds of people buying _laptops_ and showing how much cheaper they are (with scum-sucking bottom feeder hardware).* The implication being running any hardware with windows is scum sucking bottom feeder hardware..or as I asked is it only some of it is scum sucking? You do realize Apple doesn't make it's own motherboards in those laptops, right?
