Personal choice and all that. American users are definitely coming to the conclusion that "less is more", as the huge surge in netbook sales continues. These things do pretty much everything most people care about (surfing and e-mailing).
True, and this could start and ENTIRELY new debate. Get one with a LINUX OS. Or wipe that "Windows lite" thing or whatever it's called off there and install Linux. Or at the very least, partition the drive and do a dual install. You can try to install MAC OS and it will work for just about everything except for some hardware issues. Primarily the wireless. I've heard it can be fixed but haven't bothered as I'm happy with the Linux.
I don't have anywhere near the experience with the Linux platform (yet) as I do with the MAC OS. The stock install of Xandros that some come with is OK, Linpus is better. But ubuntu has to be slickest one I've seen between the three.
