If they want to be taken seriously sony they should go the apple way and get some linux codebase and an os of their own on top, having vista, or windows 7, or whatever crap from redmond is to a lot of people nowadays a spoiler to the deal.
Btw, that trackstick in the middle they have that reminds me of one of my first toshiba lappies ten years ago, is so, so sweet, the trackbad caught on, but this was the much better implementation for sure (lenovo and someothers still carry it), nice to see it making a come back for reasons of space. But as soon as I see that awful black vista toolbar...I cringe immediately....like I said, you wanna sell a netbook for $1000, make your own os sony.

Well perhaps it is a spoiler for you but netbooks started with Linux base and even today the Linux version is at least $50 cheaper and yet the windows version out sells them. I guess that everyone must not agree with you. The unit does not meet the criteria for Microsoft to allow XP so vista is the only choice currently for the larger share of the market.
