The only thing that I find is not as user friendly is the way the WiFi connects. It works and all, but the AirPort interface is so much nicer. Still, for a fraction of the price of a MacBook, you have to give up something. If I had waited, I might have opted for a mini 9, but since this is just a traveling/ultra portable machine, it works fine for what it does. I had no desire whatsoever to have any version of Windows, even on a netbook.
I totally agree. I never considered Windows for netbook, or any use for that matter. Too bad Asus wants Xandros to look so XPesque in its stock config.
