    That would mean someone actually fell for this ploy

    While I wouldn't choose a MacBook Air for myself, I wouldn't go so far as to say that MacBook Air owners are mentally ill (though you wouldn't be the first to suggest such a thing).  :p  


    Maybe I should rephrase.  I wouldn't go so far as to say that ALL MacBook Air owners are mentally ill...

    You are obviously missing the point that the onset of mental illness, like many illnesses, can occur at any point in life. And to anybody. So there could be, within the population of MacBook Air owners, some who become mentally ill at some point in their lives subsequent to having purchased their MBA. Clearly they were in a healthy state of mind when they purchased the machine. But having later developed mental illness, they are then subject to being taken advantage of by the insane prospect offered by Microsoft to trade their MBA in for a machine that only runs the crapfest that is Windows. But thanks for playing.

    Microsoft would probably be turning around and giving the MacBook Airs to their top-ranking executives, the average employe gets a surface...

    My son's middle school issued Dell 10" tablets to all of the students (I didn't know they even existed until about 9 months ago when he got it). The tablets were universally hated. The kids stopped using them after about a month. They ran Windows. Upon receiving survey results when the kids returned the tablets at the end of the school year the overwhelming response was negative, with somewhere near 90% rated in 1 or 2 stars out of a possible 5 with 5 being best. My son preferred to use his iPhone 4 instead of the tablet.

    Good comparisons. It's also like trading a McDonalds double cheeseburger for a stick of celery.

    Correction, that would be ... "Trade down"

    Microsoft are so out of touch it is mind blowing.
    That's exactly what I thought! Are they serious? The Air is the perfect portable laptop. Why on earth would I downgrade?
