When Microsoft said it withdrew its offer to buy Yahoo earlier this month, many people figured the acquisition dance was far from over - that the withdrawal and the subsequent letter from Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer to his Yahoo counterpart were nothing more than a move in an ongoing strategic battle. It appears those people were right, as Microsoft just issued a statement regarding Yahoo.

[q Next week we will see a version that has a cut down XP installed on it [/q]
At a dollar less in price? ;-)
Not this time. Note that these "less is more" machines would not lend themselves to being vehicles for all those demo versions of crap that offset the OS license cost on more conventional machines. Any OS license would cost real money.

Very impressive indeed.
Just the thing for a quick email... provided of course that the internet connection is picked up straight away.
Wireless networks are pants, but wired networks can also take a few minutes of authentication, so if the router is switched off too, there is no time saving gains to be made by not loading the main OS.
