Remember how back in the heyday of the netbook (eg. Eee 901) we used to ask that very question?

Now we know. The question is officially settled.

I guess providing big-box retail chains with "training materials / training courses" is no longer sufficient.

Sales dweebs who try to appear that they *like* the LosePhone, will merely come across like the "Windows 7 Release Party" video, creepy confirmations of the saying:
