I didn't say that 'you have to pay for' the iOS upgrades. ;)

That's why I called it a marketing move. Then again everyone is starting to do the same so better not get caught in the frenzy.
I use my 6 old Dell Inspiron with Win XP Pro SP3 right now, and I find that it does all I need and see no need to upgrade to Win 7 64 bit Pro (which I have on my other laptop). Maybe I'm old school type.

Don't know about where you are but the shopping experience on a Sunday around here - in every shop - is very similar to a Saturday in terms of the number of people there.

I just saw the ASUS Zenbook at Costco. WOW!!
These things are going to come down in price by next northern winter when I Hopefully go on my next ski holiday. And I want one of these Zenbooks with me.

I do find it rather irritating that despite Apple's claims of 'everything just works' that photos taking using an iPhone 4 appear either upside down or sideways in most viewing software.
