Well I am using windows and Mac... So I cannot say that I am off Wndows. I wish I was though. I am a artist for a PS2 Developer in Redmond Heh ironic I know... But everyday I come into work and boot my Mac & Win Box's up My mac boots into OSX and My Win Boots 2000. I use my mac to then browse the web answer email and IM while my Adware,Spyware). Seriously though I would have to agree if the situation was swapped the problem would still exist.
my 2 cents
Instead of crowing about how cool it is that someone decided to market a heat insulator for all of the "Hot Laptop bottoms", why don't we put our efforts and commentary into how to make them cooler... I am a Mac user my self and have noticed how the PB that I have gets uncomfortably hot after several hours of use. I also Have a Dell Inspiron that gets hotter yet...
Yes the heat insulator works but it seems a band-aid to the real problem which is the engineering behind getting rid of excess heat. It seems that most developers of portables have no problem dissapating heat by allowing it to exit via baseplates in the laptops... ie your lap gets boiled. So really the end result is that we humans are the recipients of the excess waste heat and we are the actual end dissapators....
So the engineers in their final analysis must conclude that human flesh will be able to absorb the residual waste heat that is generated and have no problem letting the heat dissapate this way.
I want a laptop that is able to be handled for its expected battery-life without being subject to a very hot plastic or metal surface.
