[citation][nom]smeker[/nom]Microsoft's creativity has gone down the shiznithole long time ago.When everyone was saying that tablets should not have a full blown OS on them, Apple haters were complaining how they wanted to have everything on their tablet... which sadly was what toshiba and other manufacturers were offering for ages but noone was buying it..Now companies started installing Android on Tablets, and all of a sudden it's the best shit since popsicle. Same loosers that were complaining for not having a full blown OS on your tablet, now are praising the idea of having Android on it... Lol.... go figure...[/citation]
Tablets without a full os has existed for some time now. Nokia N770 is one example, and it was launched in 2005. Or FrontPath ProGear. Perhaps if you removed your veil you would see the light beyond apple invents everything.

Lol.... go figure...About Microsoft... it took them a while to figure out that Windows mobile 6.4 was crap and they need to throw it in the garbage... Dont tell me that if Apple didnt push the iPhone on the market, you'll be using now Android phones or Win ph 7.[/citation]
The same could be said about Apple. If Microsoft, BlackBerry, Symbian,... didn't introduced the firsts smartphones OS then you wouldn't have the iPhone.

[citation][nom]smeker[/nom]Yes and it's battery lasted for 3 hours tops, and from those three hours it took half and hour to boot up the freaking thing, and lets not talk about the lack of "touch" OS[/citation]
The tecra M7 had better specs than the MacBook of that time (2005). True that it was far from perfect but at time time they were really innovating. Innovative things don't come out perfect.

Then there's the way apple functions, let other companies innovate and when they have most of the problems ironed out launch a copy and call it innovative and magical.

Well, the iPad did sell briskly, so this should be expected...

[citation][nom]haunted one[/nom]Because whatever comes out to compete usually obeys the phrase "bang for your buck," unlike Apple products[/citation]

Well i guess Netbooks lost the Bang for the consumers buck! Kindle, Sony E-reader and Apple iPad seem to be the Netbooks demise.

[citation][nom]hoofhearted[/nom]I would be that there is also something to do with pre-loaded software crap that comes on most retail-sold laptops. Most of which leaves remnants or prompts during the uninstall if there even is an uninstall. At least with the Apple devices it is alot cleaner to get rid of something.[/citation]

True (sorry, Apple haters). Two options: Sony calls their program Clean Start, I think. It's a free option to remove said crapware.
Or, do a clean OS install.
