I think you are being unkind there to Windows laptops. I am certain that if you were to run a circa 2005 Windows Laptop with the SAME O/S and applications as were current when it was shipped, you would have a good level of functionality. The majority of people do NOT look at the requirements for an application or O/S upgrade on those machines, and assume that just because it runs an older version of Windows, and that Microsoft is now actively showing how fantastic the newest version is, that their laptop will be fantastic with the new release.
