Sandbox. I might actually use the level creator with it!

wow, if anyone could post the opposite of what this topic is about, you succeeded. my future lenovo s10 will be 1/6 your laptops price and 1/3 your massive laptops size. i wouldn't even call yours a laptop, let alone call it a netbook.

i plan on just remotely logging in to my desktop for processor-intensive stuff.

aren't you guys that are calculating forgetting something. if you have a 64GB SSD and have your OS, programs, and files on it, you are left with much less. on my 80gb drive, i only have about 10gb free that i can use daily. so assuming you are writing 3GB a day and with all of the logging/caching, you would be writing that to the same 7-10GB of free space every time. this would alter your calculations considerably

maybe i'm missing something about "wear leveling" but it I can't imagine this process will move around your permanent data.

look at all these people getting angry at MS when this is clearly not their fault. i fully blame engadget for their ongoing posts of MS bashing. this post has no basis besides getting people to rally against MS.

"Which sounds great, but then again so does 3-D holographic videoconferencing ("Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi; you're my only hope")."

if the proposed system already has multiple cameras, taking that to the level of 3D videoconferencing shouldn't be too hard considering the game/software is already making a 3D model of you and your movements. taking that and making it into a 3d holograph can be done using multiple projectors as has been done before. http://www.eyeliner3d.com/

for the mass market in the near future, probably not. but very possible even with today's current technology.
