Pacebook Tablet PC
IAmBlakeM writes "Looks like a new PC design has been released by the guys at PaceBlade. Reviewed at Anandtech, the new PaceBlade, touted as a 3in1 PC, features a Transmeta Crusoe TM5600 CPU at 600Mhz, up to 256MB of RAM, a 12.1" XGA LCD that can do 1024x768, and an "any key". Always nice to see some new designs and technology throwing curves at the norms."
Um, yeah, not forcing me to buy Office XP is really a Bad Thing. That's almost as bad as... well, I can't really think of anything that bad. You should write your congressperson and ask them to do something about this horrible situation before it gets out of hand and companies start selling computers without Windows, so people can choose what software they want on their computers themselves, because that would be like the Baddest Thing ever.
That's not such a big drawback: XFree86 and Squeak both have handwriting software availble for them. For XFree86, you can even get OpenOffice. Why would you want to pay for XP software and struggle with MS Office instead?
