This is silly. If parents are afraid of their children seeing and hearing objectionable material, they can screen the game purchases before the child is able to play the game. Also, the XBox360, PS3, Mac, and PCs will actually work without a physical connection to the Internet. For basic office, creativity, and music listening uses, and for single-player modes of games, the Internet is not required for use. Once a system has been updated and the necessary software is downloaded, a connection to the Net is not needed for continuing function. Also, the PS3 and XBox360 work fine without a connection to the Net. Parents can also set limits to how much time the child spends playing games on these systems. Parents could also enroll their children in clubs, church activities, and if the parents own their own business, get their children to lend a hand and participate in the business. Any one of these is always preferrable to having a government "legislate" how a game or any other software should be produced for private use.

Honestly, most of the business travelers using a laptop who truly are not "tech" people, have enough trouble using one OS, let alone, two or three. Using either Ubuntu or Red Hat with full install, OpenOffice is capable of getting real office work done, even on the road. However, if their employer used Microsoft Office with several macros that are not readable by other brands of office software, then have them just get Vista enterprise or Vista Ultimate (they are still not as secure as Linux or OSX, but they are better than the lesser versions of Windows.) This will not use up as much IT training and support time for the user, and will not use as much hard drive space. For many non-tech end-users, dual-boot machines just cause nearly as many problems as not having it. Several cannot even tell the difference between Gnome, Finder/Aqua, Explorer, and KDE desktops in the first place, and don't know the difference between MacOS, Linux, and Windows. This laptop will appeal to us techs who are probably already dual or triple-booting our computers, but this makes only a little sense for non-tech business users. And for running VMWare/Parallels, whether using MacOS paired with either Linux or Windows, or using Windows paired with Linux is also the source of a lot of tech-support headaches when dealing with non-tech business and consumer users. VMWare makes a lot of sense for more technical uses and server-side and cross-platform development projects, but for non-tech end-users, is fraught with stability and useability issues. Besides Linux, MacOS, and Windows are all capable of "heavy duty" computing, if used on a machine that is capable and configured well.
