Yes, but given 4 years and Netbooks will be as fast and strong as
desktops are now. Give it 10 years and your glasses will be as strong
as your desktop is now.

I see this as a very short term problem with very long term
implications. We don't need to go there. It is a way for firms to get
total control of your computer and then charge you for it. By going
that way you are hold out your hands and asking for them to put on
those free handcuffs!
