Not wanting a windows key is super limiting. There are many shortcut keys builtin to windows like windows+ b d e f l m r u (break) keys, plus I have a little utility so i can attach other windows shortcuts and assign them to applications I use all the time. I've been using an x40 for 2.5 years and immediately reassigned the totally useless forward and backward keys to windows and application keys. I admit having to reinstall windows when not having a cdrom drive could be annoying, but with cd images and much more hard drive space on the new 60 models, an internal drive is less important most of the time. As for asthetics, I care much more about how my computer performs, not how it looks; maybe being blind has something to do with it, but still, it's just squarish and the color is dull who cares. I wish you could completely turn of the screen without closing the laptop.
