The annoying thing is, you're completely right.
It's happened time and time again...audio codecs,,,video codecs...memory cards...
Next step will be devices that expire and refuse to work after a given date
That already exists. Ever tried to replace an iPod/iPhone battery? Sure, it's possible, but Apple make this as difficult as they can for you. I always have held the belief that iPods/iPhones are defective by design.
Thinking 'bout it... (and sorry for the selfreply), when did anything MS say, promise, do or deliver have anything to do with the upgrade cycles your management decides for? It's more like "the computers are exactly 3 years, 2 months and 1 day old, time for change. BING! Now!"
Actually, MSN Search was much older than three years 2 months and a day when they replaced it with Bing.
Wave is set to pretty much assimilate the web. Just got done watching the demo at wave.google.com and I think I need to change my boxers.
The internet will be assimilated. Your project's collaborators will be added to our database. Resistance is futile.
Got rid of Linux...
Now why not get rid of the Eee altogether.
I sat through nearly all that rubbish and there is nothing that they were doing that I can't do on my phone (And I've got a 2 year old SE k610i).
Oh wait! I couldn't run Microsoft Works....
Type a report, essay, or document perhaps? I'd pay good money to see what your thumbs looked like afterwards.
A Sub-Notebook is what this is: Small and light, yes, but certainly not cheap. Examples of this would include the MacBook Air.
Sub-Notebooks have been around pretty much since notebooks have been around (as demonstrated in some of the other comments in this thread). Netbooks are a recent phenomenon beginning with the EEE. Just my $0.02
Have you heard about Android Data before google made their move? Thought so.

Sorry, couldn't resist. Zork is timeless.
It is easily readable
Surely any font that isn't easily readable is unfit for purpose? Apart from a select few, obviously (Wingdings, and those "Math" fonts, etc) At the end of the day it is just everywhere, and that makes people hate it. It's overused, simple as. But how can we have an argument over weather it is a good or bad font? It is a matter of personal opinion. As you rightly said, it is readable, but weather it is good or not is down to the individual. But I still hate it.
