I&#8217;ve been wanting one of these for awhile, and I played with his for a few minutes, and now I want one all the more. The thing could probably fit in most of my big pockets, it&#8217;s so small. The screen was a bit small, but everything was very clear and visible&#8230; he was running XP on it and it was working flawlessly&#8230; oh man. I do want one.<br \/>\nProblems with me getting one: It costs money that I would have to pay, I don&#8217;t have a USB CD or DVD drive so I couldn&#8217;t install any other OS on it myself, if I wanted to install Windows on it I don&#8217;t have any sort of &#8220;key&#8221; with which to do that.

It can apparently like&#8230; streamline and shave down your Windows installation and stuff. That would be useful for installing Windows on that little lappy with the 4 Gig SSHD.<br \/>\nOh man, I dunno.
