the MSI Wind Pad

The keyword this year is "tablet". Taking over "netbook", there are quite a few of these attractive toys at Computex 2010. I knew the tablet is gonna take off, I just didn't expect it to be almost a decade later. Strange sometimes, it shows how senseless, herd-heading people(in general) are. Apple, has perfected its herd heading ability. It is something everyone can take a leaf out of. But Microsoft still has a trump-card, that is Windows itself, which might be its last. For most people, Windows is still the preferred OS. It is a total culture-shock when I tried to maneuver through Snow Leopard. Yes if there is time to spare, it is a nice adventure getting to know the cat, a lot of nice features(with multi-touch, you won't want to use a mouse - I am serious!). But a newbie would feel crippled, even finding or creating a folder can sometimes be so deceptively difficult! Boot Camp and a Windows7 install later, I almost forgot I had that cat before. I'll be back to the cat one day, when I have the time... Here is Wind, which looks like a XXL PMP. P.S. I am not saying the OS is bad, I am just too used to Windows! :)
