Well, soon they will.

If they are saying it will run all day on a charge, experience has shown me that after a year, it will only be running about 3/4 of a day before a charge is required.
18 months after purchase, maybe 1/2 of a day before it needs a charge.
I'm guessing this has the same battery replacement mentality as other apple portable consumer products which sucks.

Go look on Microsoft for the "Action Pack".

Start a small side business that "Works to develop solutions on microsoft products." Buy the action pack for that business. It's $300 per year and comes with 10 copies of XP *PRO*, 10 copies of Office *PRO* Visio. 2k3 Server, Exchange Server, SQL server, Virtual PC, Microsoft's Mapping software and all updates. More software than you will use. (I'm leaving a bunch of stuff out) The only way it could be better was if it came With Visual Studio so you could actually "Develop solutions on microsoft products".

The only draw back is that it's a yearly license. *By copies, I mean serial numbers. They give you 5 numbers that can be activated twice w/o talking to anybody.
