Sep 17th 2009 5:31PM Wait, just from looking at it, shouldn't that be 5.2? I see three speakers in the front, two on the side, and two subs.

Sep 8th 2009 2:21PM --Camera, iPod, and MP3 compatibility
Wrong. Linux has support for epic amounts of these devices.
--Printers and scanners compatibility
Wrong again, for the same reason as above.
--Software compatibility
Talk about a generic point. There are as many Linux applications that Windows doesn't support as there are Windows applications that Linux doesn't support. It's called developing for a particular platform, and on that note there are still options such as Wine or CYGWIN to run those applications cross-platform.
--Windows Live Essentials
Wait, this is just as ridiculous as saying "You should buy a Ford because it has a Ford engine! Honda doesn't have a Ford engine!" Well, duh, a Honda has a Honda engine, and it goes just as fast, thank you.
--The games your customers want (e.g. World of Warcraft)
I see where MS is going with this (yes most games are developed for Windows), but they couldn't have chosen a crappier game as an example. As far as I know, World of Warcraft is the BEST performing game on Wine in Linux.
--Authorized support
I suppose they mean that Best Buy only offers authorized support for machines running Windows, but who the hell wants Best Buy tech support?
--Video chat on all major IM networks
I'm almost positive that this is also false. With all of the IM software alternatives for Linux, I find it hard to believe that there isn't video support.
I love how they use Linux.org as a source.

Logitech's USB Unifying Receiver: one dongle to serve multiple input peripherals {Engadget}
Aug 4th 2009 9:24AM Because "standard" bluetooth comes at varying ranges, speeds, and performances. Many people would have a sub-par experience, which is unacceptable with a mouse, and blame it on Logitech.
