When they got the the screen that said, "Intel Inspired," I was like, right. Don't you mean Apple inspired?

It would have made more sense if Apple still used PowerPC chips, but there's something just weird about Intel trying to goad the rest of their clients into doing something one of their clients is already doing, and behaving as if it hinges on some innovative new thinking. I mean, do they think we don't know about the Air? That we can't see it? That Apple's market share is sufficiently small that they can just play let's pretend?
I understand their motives, but that doesn't make it less distasteful.

Why would I buy an "Ultrabook" when I already have a "NetBook"?
Ultrabook sounds like an effort to salvage what is left of the netbook market that has gone nowhere.
Actually... Ultrabook reminds me of an old-school superhero.
