See, thats annoying, I had to delet most of yr message so I could add a reply (I'm doing this on an iPad) long quotes don't allow room for a reply
Anyway, ok, ok I get it, I didn't mean win 7 as is. I mean a tablet friendly win 7 from the ground up, with Apple-type magic to make it work properly.
It's funny, I went to buy my daughter a tiny cheapy net book (around $300) for when she travels around Europe from Harris tech . She loves my iPad, but wants to use PS regularly so it had to have win 7. Harris tech said "we don't have any, no one wants that **** anymore, tablets are the way to go.....man" and then pointed to a $3000 tablet that ran win 7. I quietly pointed out that the 10 times price for the same functions might be a problem , went down the road to office works (owned by the same company BTW) and got the net book there. Loaded CS5, absolutely worked a treat, and now my daughter doesn't go near my $1000 iPad.
The netbook has win 7, CS5, a 10 hr battery, wi fi etc, AND A USB SOCKET, runs flash,Facebook etc all the things she needs, for a third of the price of an IPad !, and for her, does far more than an IPad.
Despite the fact that I prefer the iPad over a netbook, simply for the interface alone, for simple day to day surfing and emails, Apple has a LONG way to go before it comes CLOSE to the functionality of a netbook with win 7.
