8:16 AM EST 		I liked Foresight, even if it was a GNOME distro, it was fast and stable and not bloated at all (ahem...Ubtunu...). Just my O.

Edit: It's also nice to see something other than a 'buntu-style distro being preinstalled on a PC. This is good news and a good sign.

So TC, will there be a Darwin Award for the first person to die via a windows virus from plugging their brain into a windows box?

1:39 PM EST 		A USB DVD writer is probably a must-have peripheral for this thing. So make it $199 + $60.

I predict they'll need a whole new category just to handle the sheer volume of nominees.
