And there are a couple of very, very big shockers. I definitely can't wait for the next two books.

For example, the enterprise agreement for the Adobe CS4 suite was a big deal. They spent millions purchasing the software before anyone had actually tried running any of it on an actual laptop. Only after the government had signed the contracts did they bother, only to find out that the screens were too small. All of the Adobe dialog boxes were designed for a vertical height larger than the physical screen resolution, so the OK/Cancel buttons are cut off. The workaround was to install a driver that supports a larger virtual desktop and pans the screen around. It's hideous.
My first thought when reading the story was, "unhackable...yeah, that'll last long."
My second thought was, "wait, Adobe CS4 on a netbook?!?!" To use Photoshop comfortably, I need a fast multicore processor and several gigs of RAM, not to mention a big screen. Trying to use it on my netbook would just be absolute torture.
