Every new home build will have these installed. How long Ten years? Perhaps sooner.

As long as it doesn't restrict me in what I want to do, I suppose I'm okay with it.
A few of the posts left by others on the site had some good valid points about pros and cons.

In a word...... "YUCK!" :-&

Maybe in a few years after they improve the GUI. I mean, come on, it uses the worlds most insecure, bug ridden browser as its only interface? Not in this life. If it used Google Chrome.... maybe. They would be much better off using a custom Linux OS with FireFox, Thunderbird & Open Office. That would be much more secure, require a fraction of the system resources and reduce the overall cost per unit.

Sorry for the hostility.......

I think browsers are somewhat like religion. You get brainwashed into thinking a certain way and then you're hooked forever.

No offense meant to anyone, of course.

Well, sure. My neighbor uses IE, so I promised one of the local kids 72 Pokemon in heaven if he'd run into my neighbor's computer room and cause a massive power surge.:cool:

Actually, testing and personal experience prove with indisputable facts that IE is rated PG (which stands for Pure Garbage). Firefox and Google Chrome are the most efficient, and best performing internet browsers available. They respond faster, load faster, switch faster, and all the while use far less RAM than IE. Download one. You can see for yourself :)

It should also be pointed out there were more downloads of Firefox than IE9, even though they shove it onto everyone's computers :D

As long as the keyboard isn't the same relative size, I'd get one.
